Spotting Strong Instruction Webinar (Live on Zoom)

School and district leaders are often asked to support instruction across grade levels and subject areas they do not personally teach. In this practical session, you’ll learn what strong instruction looks like across classrooms, which observable practices signal meaningful learning, and how to ask purposeful questions and give actionable feedback grounded in sound pedagogy rather than content expertise alone.

• Identify visible signs of effective instruction across subjects and grade levels
• Learn what to look for during walkthroughs when you are outside your content area
• Ask focused questions that uncover student thinking and instructional purpose
• Give feedback that is specific, useful, and rooted in strong teaching practice
• Build confidence in recognizing meaningful learning beyond content mastery
