Starting last year, the administration has put emphasis on doing what Principal John Williams calls “walk- throughs,” in which administrators visit a number of classrooms and spend only a few minutes in each. Administrators will continue to do that this year.
“We’ve been doing (walk-throughs) for a while, but seriously doing them, this is the second year,” Williams said.
Freshman Katie Bosler said that she has had several administrators walk into her classes recently, including Williams and Assistant Principal Amy Skeens-Benton.
She said, “I think (the administrators) like doing it. They talk to the students and see how they’re doing.”
Each administrator has a goal of doing 10 walk-throughs per week, according to Williams. Williams said he is happy with the current number of walk-throughs but that the administration just needs to maintain that number.
Williams said he has done over 120 walk-throughs already this year. “(Walk-throughs) are just opportunities for administrators to be in the classroom, see what’s going on. Our teachers do such wonderful things that it’s nice for us to see those,” Williams said.
Bosler said she appreciates the administrators making this effort. “They’re always smiling and greeting you,” Bosler said. “And I think it’s nice that they’re interested in what we’re doing.”
