<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">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.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">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)
