Listed below are the "Classroom Rounds" tools that can be used to document student learning, CIP progress, and cognitive coaching strategies. Each school's principal and CIP coordinator may edit or update the forms, as needed for their schools. These forms are not punitive in nature; rather, the observer documents the evidence that occurs or is visible (as opposed to what is not). Feedback on online forms can be immediately provided to teachers and principals.

Online Forms - Responses are fed into a Google Spreadsheet and Graph <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">(Contact Melissa Shields if you would like a editable copy shared with you)

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%;">The Central Office wanted the teachers and students to know that we can participate in project-based lessons too. This video was shared on the first day of our district-wide inservice called "Institute" coming back from the summer. The teachers loved it. The video features our superintendent, CFO, accountants, district administrators, lunchroom managers, and other CO staff. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%;"> media type=youtube key=1S4CRod0RVk?hl=en_US width=560 height=315 width="560" height="315"

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14.3px;">Principals were given Flip cameras and 30 minutes to create a video about why parents should send students to their schools. Principals got in groups, according to their school communities and wrote the scripts, performed, and uploaded their videos to our PD Ning within 45 minutes.
