Instructional Rounds Commitment by Kelvin Luster https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0 After observing Instructional Rounds on October 15th, what is one practice you commit to trying, refining, or sustaining in your classroom? 💭 What inspired you, and why does it matter for your students? en-us 2025-10-16 15:02:35 UTC 2025-10-21 20:10:04 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/8.0/svg/1f4ad.svg After observing instructional rounds, one practice I commit to trying and redefining is intentional student questioning. I love the way each content teacher asked higher-order questions. Those questions pushed their students to explain their reasoning, make connections and apply their learning to real-life lessons. It made the lesson enjoyable and practical. bmckinney25 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3636249712 2025-10-16 17:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3636249712 After observing instructional rounds, one practice I commit to trying is my questioning techniques to help with deeper thinking. I plan to ask my students more opened-ended questions and higher-order questions to encourage them to analyze and apply what they've learned rather than simply just recalling facts from the lesson. https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3636271288 2025-10-16 17:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3636271288 I really enjoyed the instructional rounds. It's nice to see how everyone runs their classroom! https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3636453860 2025-10-16 21:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3636453860 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3636482792 2025-10-16 21:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3636482792 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3636790321 2025-10-17 02:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3636790321 jordantoves https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637590624 2025-10-17 12:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637590624 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637681127 2025-10-17 13:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637681127 After observing instructional rounds, one practice I commit to trying is pushing my student's for deeper answers which call for more critical thinking. I want to encourage them to understand the significance of the writing styles we study, and how they apply to most of the media they consume in one way or another. lauraburke5 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637697728 2025-10-17 13:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637697728 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637877021 2025-10-17 16:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637877021 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637878288 2025-10-17 16:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637878288 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637883134 2025-10-17 16:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637883134 I loved all the different ways the students were working in their groups and how it flowed with the lesson. Every room had such great things going on and I took something away from each teacher that I saw! https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637883209 2025-10-17 16:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637883209 Super Great! angelaevans5 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637887264 2025-10-17 16:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637887264 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637888176 2025-10-17 16:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637888176 It was interesting to see the great things happening throughout the school and how the teachers were using various strategies to keep students engaged in learning. https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637897562 2025-10-17 16:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637897562 I felt these instructional rounds provided essential tools for the classroom. It was good to observe other teachers and their techniques. https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637915022 2025-10-17 16:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637915022 I felt these instructional rounds showed how effective multiple layers of involvement for a class can be. By combining lecture, with discussion, along with small group experimentation, self-reflection through writing, and/or note taking, it helped to keep students highly engaged. https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637969738 2025-10-17 17:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637969738 I loved how teachers constantly did check-ins with their students to see how well they understood the materials. A lot of times I keep going and going and forget to check between each segment and lose students in between. I will incorporate checks after every segment instead of at the end to keep students from getting lost in the middle. gnewsome3 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637993249 2025-10-17 17:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3637993249 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638007188 2025-10-17 18:06:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638007188 Great Thoughts https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638021033 2025-10-17 18:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638021033 I enjoyed instructional rounds. We have some really GREAT teachers at CCHS. Thank you for letting me learn from you. https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638033178 2025-10-17 18:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638033178 They were insightful. https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638085477 2025-10-17 19:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638085477 I really enjoyed the instructional rounds this week. I really enjoyed being able to see what my fellow co-workers are doing and seeing some of my students in a different classroom environment. gstoudemire https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638089886 2025-10-17 19:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638089886 The instructional rounds revealed to me that I need to make sure students are understanding the purpose and relevance behind the content I am teaching. I will commit to making sure I relate concepts with real world examples. I enjoyed seeing how Mrs. Barden related exponential growth and decay to real world issues. https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638092041 2025-10-17 19:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638092041 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638125278 2025-10-17 20:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3638125278 krojasarce https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3639002488 2025-10-19 00:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3639002488 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3641111862 2025-10-20 14:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3641111862 While in Ms. Bates class i enjoyed seeing the fist/hand acknowledgement system, I think this gives the instructor a quick observation who and how well the students understand the topic at hand before moving on to something else. johnnixon2 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3641113663 2025-10-20 14:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3641113663 After observing instructional rounds, I plan to use timers and better transitions that keep learning focused. I liked how Bates did her transitions and quick formative assessments in her transitions. claytonsweeney https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3643447539 2025-10-21 15:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3643447539 Kudos to My Colleagues https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3643705641 2025-10-21 18:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3643705641 rbarden2 https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3643829420 2025-10-21 20:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kluster6/s2mjwu39q0jpjtw0/wish/3643829420
