Dr. Holly Hibbard and Alicia Whitworth had a great visit with Corbin Primary School last week as they kicked off their KMIT walkthrough work!
Corbin Primary already has many strengths in math instruction, but their team is committed to continuous growth. They will use the data collected through KMIT walkthroughs to identify areas for growth and help guide meaningful conversations and instructional work within their PLCs.
Even better, Corbin Primary has trained several internal team members to conduct KMIT walkthroughs, building the capacity to sustain this work for years to come! 👏
