Sometimes the best ideas are inside your own school. Here are three thoughtful practices to find—and share—inspiration from your peers.

Assessment
60-Second Strategy: Interview Assessments

Classroom Management
60-Second Strategy: Equity Sticks
Looking for a simple way to ensure all voices are heard in your classroom? Try equity sticks.
Professional Learning
Learning Walks: Structured Observation for Teachers
Brief visits to several classrooms give teachers a chance to reflect on a variety of practices.
Teacher Collaboration
A Mentoring Strategy for Preservice Teachers
Teacher candidates at the University of Wyoming Lab School co-teach with veterans to learn about planning, instruction, and assessment.
