In addition to seeing instruction, I always benefit from seeing how other classrooms handle organization and management of materials.  I liked seeing the students' work on display in the classrooms I visited and look forward to trying more individualized instruction on the devices.

I  enjoyed having a chance to come into the building to see other teachers in action.  On the walk, I was given a new perspective for using Padlet. I had never thought of using it as a poster for one student. I always viewed it as a collaborative piece. It was also very awesome to see the students engaged as they worked through a poem through scaffolding.

I really enjoyed seeing the flexible seating in use! The kids really seemed to love it! Also, the students using Padlet for projects was an innovative take on the old 'poster' project. I really love seeing other teachers in action! Thanks for inviting us in!

Seeing teachers using strategies to support executive functioning in our students was a highlight of my walks.  Agendas on board/screen, interactive notebooks, directions in plastic sleeves, folders with self-monitoring materials, calendars for chunking projects,

These small strategies increase students' ability to self-regulate, self-manage large tasks, and self-assess their progress.

Thanks to everyone that opened their classroom to us.  It was great to see padlet being used as part of a Spanish assignment.  I had never thought to use it that way.  I also really enjoyed all of the options that were offered in Ms. Anderson's class.  The kids were able to use primary sources, secondary sources, video clips, speeches, etc.  Everyone seemed very engaged in every class that we visited!

This was a very enjoyable experience.  It is great to see kids in environments different than my own, engaged in different ways.  I was impressed by the respectful and positive environments that were evident in each classroom.  The students were aware of their expectations and followed them.  I LOVED observing AVID.   Watching middle school students interact in that way was amazing.  I would love to observe more classrooms throughout the year.  It is really a great way to learn new strategies by seeing them in action

The use of board building to help give students choice.  Many times it empowers students to do their work when they feel they have control. Board builder could be a great way to have the students build a board ans use that as a concept assessment.-cwatts

it was nice to see station work and small group use. It is something I plan to try in the future. -Cwatts

I really enjoyed seeing the flexible and creative seating added to music playing in the background. The students were on task and seems to really enjoy themselves.

I enjoyed seeing the clothing activity in Spanish class. I thought the kids were extremely into it and having fun while learning. Great use of technology!

I always learn so much walking through classrooms. It was great to see the genuine respectful interactions between teachers and students. I also loved seeing how engaged they are in their learning. Shout Out to Baldwin! I loved how he was integrating technology and giving students choice in product. Great example of differentiation in the classroom.

I always enjoy observing how other teachers manage small group instruction.  I loved what I saw the last two days and how each student knew exactly what to do and what the expectations were for the assignment.  I truly think that watching other teachers actually "teach" is the best kind of professional development.  I would love to take this a step further and observe teaching in other schools as well.

Varied student grouping and seating; students working independently, in groups, and with teachers; classroom culture, expectations, and routines clearly in place; classrooms and activities were more student focused/centered rather than just teacher led

I enjoyed seeing what the expectations for students in other rooms was like. It allows me to get a feel for what students are doing in other content and grade levels.

Loved seeing the student led instruction in AVID.  Sometimes I forget how competent middle schoolers can be!

I enjoyed seeing the flexable seating.  I am trying to think of ways to include some into my classroom.  I loved the tips from Hoffman and seeing how he is able to quickly group students based on their needs.  Karen's Slam Dunk was very engaging for the students, I will need to look into this for the future

The students all appeared to know what to do, even though there were a variety of activities going on in several rooms. The student to student conversations all sounded like they were on task. Next time, I would like to spend a longer period of time in each room, and see the beginning of a lesson, to see how things get started. It is tough to make connections between what is observed after a lesson has started, without seeing where things began, and how the expectations were established.

It was nice to walk through and see such great flexibility in different content areas. I was especially jealous of the flexible seating choices in Salemi’s room - I wish my room was bigger so I could try that!

Even though the content and grade level varied, something that was consistent throughout all of the classrooms was variety. Most classes had multiple things happening simultaneously.

I really enjoyed the learning walk.  I was specifically impressed with the learning centered and organized environments in a couple of the rooms.  The rooms were designed with students and their learning front and center.
