McREL Power Walkthrough

Description

McREL Power Walkthrough is a multi-platform, customizable data collection tool that allows users to quickly gather data during short classroom walkthroughs in order to capture key components of instruction.

Following McREL’s training on recognizing research-based instructional strategies, observers use the device to record strategies, student grouping, and other components during 3-5 minute walkthroughs. Though our template is based on the strategies from Classroom Instruction that Works, 2nd edition, schools and districts can customize their template to capture additional data specific to their needs.

After gathering data, users can create a variety of reports to see trends and patterns in instruction at district, school, team, and individual levels. These reports can be used to foster conversations on future goals, professional development needs, and tweaks that can be made in the classroom.
