John E. Roberts is a former teacher and administrator, who has taught at the Instructional Rounds Institute at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
As John Roberts observes, introducing [instructional rounds] into
schools is a culturally disruptive practice. It introduces the
powerful countercultural idea that people who work in
knowledge-based enterprises should be engaged in continuous
learning. Instructional Rounds in Action is a model of how this
process of continuous learning and improvement works. From the
foreword by Richard F. Elmore, Gregory R. Anrig Professor of
Educational Leadership, Harvard Graduate School of Education"
Here is a book that captures all the key facets of putting
instructional rounds into practice. Roberts s identification of the
core problems of organizational learning the problems of frequency,
symmetry, and reciprocity is the first strong contribution to
applied instructional rounds that I have seen. Michael Fullan,
OISE/University of Toronto"
What a compelling story and journey one that every district should
undertake. Roberts describes the hows and whys of implementing this
powerful approach to continuous improvement, and shows how it
challenges adults to improve teaching and learning for every
student. Jayne H. Mohr, associate superintendent, Traverse City
(Michigan) Area Public Schools"
