It is possible to gain a complete idea of training in a specific school by doing a classroom dry run. This can be brief in nature, but can make the production of data patters easier like the numerous opportunities there are to meet the numerous skills and interests of students, the kinds of work they produce, the instructional approaches teachers use and levels of engagement. These are usually shared with the members of the faculty for them to discuss about efficient ways to meets the students' needs and increase achievement.
An environment of resentment and suspicion can be created or a professional culture of continuous learning and development can be built by providing teachers with feedback and visiting classrooms. However, this will depend on the stand school administrators take. For example, feedback of school principals and administrators can increase teacher confidence and growth if they conduct classroom walkthroughs to find evidence and recognize attributes such as meaningful student learning and positive practices.
School administrators and principals resort to dry runs to support the good effort of the teachers and ask them to take part in a professional conversation. Collecting data can be done easily. Asking questions can also be another form of feedback. School administrators and principals frequently ask the teachers they have already monitored if there are other available ways to ensure the success of students in content application and learning.
In any educational institution, there is surely room for improvement. The procedure is a proven way to provide aid to teachers and administrators to make their job better especially in the development of opportunities for the students.
On the other hand, the purpose of this procedure can be defeated if assumptions are made or tiny criticisms are paid with more attention without knowing more about the intentions of the teachers and how they gauge student success. The success of dry runs will greatly depend on the respect the administrators give to the teachers.
The situation in the lecture area should be safe at all times and this is one thing that should be given ample attention. Unfortunately, there are instances when a student may cause learning distraction or put fellow students at risk. The school administrators and principals may even find students being isolated or excluded from the class.
Immediate attention is necessary. Correction of these circumstances should be done by means of intervention to get rid of the behavior that is causing problems and speaking to the teacher after class too to be guaranteed that these bad practices eliminated. This means it is necessary for follow up visits to be conducted.
The understanding of school leaders should be increased especially in terms of what is going on in the classroom. Being more reflective and supporting good practice are also important. The professional culture of the school can be improved by increasing the sense of common purpose and trust. These can only be achieved by getting and sharing dry run data in a way that a positive outcome can be accomplished.
