You have 8 evals left this year.

For six of those teachers, you've been in the room since September. Those conversations take 30 minutes and the teacher leaves feeling seen.

The other two? Two formal observations and a lot of general feedback nobody quite…

The best time to walk your building has nothing to do with instruction. It is right now, while it is empty. Sightlines, safety, maintenance, accessibility. Most leaders know what needs attention. Summer is the only window to act on it. #K12Leadership #SchoolSafety

Five years of consistent walkthroughs all start the same way: teachers believing the visits are for them, not about them. Not the form. Not the app. That belief.

Your last walkthrough of the year.

Three months ago, you walking in changed the room. The teacher's voice tightened. Kids sat up straighter.

Today, nobody flinched. The lesson just kept going.

That's the whole point. A walkthrough culture isn't measured …

Year-end data reviews that happen in August are working from memory. The leaders who use them best start in June, while the patterns are still visible and the conversations are still possible. #InstructionalLeadership #K12

A district in Kentucky runs PDSA cycles on their own walkthrough data. When November numbers dropped, the December PD calendar changed. Not in the spring. In the moment. The data did not tell them what to do. It told them when to stop waiting. #InstructionalLeadership #K12

Happy National School Principals' Day!

To every principal:

We see you. We appreciate you. And we are grateful for the care and leadership you bring to your school every day.

Thank you for all you do.

By March, you're not building a baseline anymore. You have months of context. The best spring walkthroughs don't ask "what do I see today?" They ask "what has changed since October?"

The thing Megan kept saying was that by the time her feedback reached teachers, the lesson was already two days in the past. She's an instructional coach for a mid-sized district, she did everything right after a classroom visit. Went back to her office, ty…

Most teacher evaluation systems weren't designed to help teachers grow.

They were designed to create a paper trail.

The difference matters, and teachers feel it immediately. Evaluations that function as surveillance produce careful performances. Evaluatio…

Teachers can tell the difference between a visit about growth and a visit about compliance. They know within the first two minutes. The relationship it builds, or doesn't, shows up in retention, trust, and what happens in coaching conversations.

Spring is when every district figures out which schools need attention before the year ends.

For most curriculum directors, that means weeks of principal check-ins, summary requests, and gut-feel decisions about where to show up.

The district hotspot repo…

Teachers who report strong instructional support from their principal are significantly more likely to stay, regardless of salary. Retention conversations that start with compensation often miss the variable that's actually movable at the school level.

Eval season without the binder hunt.

Kelley runs an elementary school in the Southeast. Every spring, formal evaluation season used to mean one thing: finding everything she'd documented since September.

Paper notes. Scanned forms. Email threads. Shared f…

Paper Jam. Copy Room B. Full Hazmat.

The copy machine gets five people, orange caution tape, and a walkie-talkie.

The classroom gets a pop-in between meetings.

One of those things has a protocol. The other one should.

Nobody misses the binder once the new system proves itself.

We hear the same thing from almost every school leader who makes the switch: they didn't expect it to change as much as it did, and they wish they'd done it sooner.

The ones who make it stick don…

The best coaching conversations start before you walk in the room.

We hear this from instructional coaches all the time, the ones whose coaching is actually landing describe the same thing. Before they sit down with a teacher, they pull up everything since…

Research on skill development is clear: the shorter the gap between observation and feedback, the higher the chance it actually changes something. The mechanism of improvement isn't the visit. It's the loop that follows it.
