Why some teachers never see you
When you visit classrooms at random, you end up in the rooms that are closest and most welcoming. Teachers with unusual schedules, part-time staff, and specialists in other parts of the building get missed.
The cards fix that. Visit the teacher on the top card, write the date, and move the card to the bottom of the stack. Everyone gets visited in the same order, and nobody gets skipped.
What’s inside
Front: schedule and visit record
The teacher’s name, room, lunch, prep, and each period, with a row of date boxes for every visit.
Back, option A: 10 feedback questions
Evidence-based questions that get the teacher talking about the lesson.
Back, option B: weekly schedule
For staff whose schedules change from day to day, such as part-time teachers and specialists.
Setup instructions
How to print them double-sided, have your office staff fill them in, and use the stack every day.
