Most principals aim for 5-10 walkthroughs per week, visiting each teacher 2-3 times per teacher per month. The key is consistency rather than frequency. It's better to do fewer walkthroughs regularly than many sporadically.
Unannounced walkthroughs provide more authentic classroom glimpses, but some schools prefer announced visits to reduce teacher anxiety. Choose the approach that fits your school culture and goals.
Walkthroughs are for growth and support, not evaluation. If you see something concerning, address it through a separate conversation or formal observation process. Don't let walkthroughs become evaluative.
Start with clear communication about purpose, focus on growth rather than evaluation, always follow up with positive feedback, and be consistent in your approach. Teachers' anxiety typically decreases as walkthroughs become routine.
Whether you use our free templates or try our digital platform, start building a culture of continuous growth through regular classroom visits
