At the start of the school year, faculty members engaged in small group discussions focused on the instructional audit tool and rubric. We emphasized the non-evaluative use of data, which we plan to share with faculty and stakeholders, including SIP Milestone Data and broader audit performance metrics. Our goal is to conduct at least two audits per day, either in full classroom visits or focusing on specific domains. Collaborating with administrators and coordinators helps us align our expectations for effective instruction and provides valuable feedback to grade-level teams.

CCPS Instructional Audit Initial Reflections
Overview/General Thoughts • Met with faculty in small group teams at the beginning of the school year. • Shared the tool and rubric. • Discussed the use of the data (non-evaluative) and plans for sharing the data with our faculty and other stakeholder groups. • Our plan for sharing the data includes: • SIP Milestone Data • More general, broad-stroke data shared with teams regarding audit performance. • Shared our goal for completing at least two audits per day.
Logistics • Completing the entire audit during each classroom visit • Another option would be to look at only one of the four domains on a specific week/time period. • When possible, focus on a grade-level at a time • When coordinators/facilitators arrive, we ask them to join us for an instructional audit as often as possible • Marking evident vs. not-evident
Reflections • Collaborating with building-level administrators as well as coordinators/facilitators gives us an opportunity to calibrate our expectations for what good instruction should look like. • The conversations are focused on instructional practices and allow us to be a witness to the good. • Generic feedback has been given to grade-level teams regarding the audit completion (i.e., “We observed the following best practices at work in your classrooms….”)
