Using Instructional Rounds to support improvement in Literacy and Student Learning

Principals and school leaders are invited to register their interest in an exploration of the Instructional Rounds model of school improvement.  This professional learning opportunity for principals and senior leaders will be facilitated by members of the Literacy Team and in joint partnership with SACPPA, APCSS and the Principal Consultants team.  Schools are encouraged to register two participants in this series of professional conversations.

It is intended that this exploration of the Instructional Rounds process will involve 4 two and a half hour sessions and two full day sessions including a full day trial of the rounds process in a volunteer school.  This will occur over Semester 1 of 2014.  Interested schools will then be invited to participate in a rounds process either as part of a network or within their own school during Semester 2 2014.  It is anticipated that this will lead to a refinement of strategic planning and ongoing professional learning needs.
