What Teachers Are Saying “Having the opportunity to view another classroom is so valuable in making me a better teacher. We
could learn so much from one another if we were given or made the time to interact between schools
with our grade levels. Just to see what is working well for others really makes me think why I choose
to do things a certain way in my own classroom.”
“Being able to take a step back from being a teacher and getting to be the
observer, I was able to gain so many new ideas and perspectives to my
teaching that I can take to my students.”
“Dr. Walther’s classroom is really amazing. She runs things smoothly, the students know the
routines, and the classroom atmosphere is great. Just being in the room gives you ideas of things
you can make changes to improve your own classroom, and watching Dr. Walther teach and run a
group gave me a ton of ideas to implement during guided reading as well.”
