Walk Through Principles

I have already shared the walk-Through calendar. If you have not gotten it, you can find it here.

Today's link will take you to the Marzano site where you can look at what specific things you can be doing to fulfill specific goals within the calendar.

For example: One of the goals for cycle 1A is "Provide clear learning goals and scales." This would align with Marzano Reflective Practice 1. (Not all of them align with the same number) So you can click on the first practice and a sheet will come up with what it should look like. (You have to create an account and be signed in, but the account is free, then scroll down to Appendix B.)

This is what will then come up if you are signed in.

This tells you what specific things you should be doing and also even gives student evidence.

Calendar of Walk-Through goals

Here is a copy of the Walk-Through Calendar that was mentioned at our Staff Meeting on Thursday.

As you can see, there are 2-3 goals for each cycle. These are your goals, teacher goals. Many of these line up with the Turn-Around principles. All of them are research based.

Clarifications for 1A

Goal 1: Provide clear learning goals and scales.

• Goals for each cycle should be posted in the classroom for your subject area. These goals should be referred to during instruction.
• Grading scales should be communicated and clear, as well as rubrics for any assignments. Students won't know what to do if it is not clearly communicated.

Goal 3:  Establish and maintain classroom rules and procedures.

• Are your general expectations posted and clearly stated?
• Are necessary procedures posted and clearly stated?
• Is enforcement of expectations consistent?

 Goal 21: Apply consequences for lack of adherence to rules and/or procedures.

• In the beginning of the year, this may be consistent reminders. 
• Is there a progressive (5 step?) plan in place for students who consistently do not adhere to the rules/procedures of the class/school?
