An instructional round has become a great factor in enhancing a teaching skills of every faculty member in schools. With the main objective to let personnel examine the teaching practices of other professors and compare their own style with theirs. It is necessary for a facilitator to participate in this program once in an entire semester.

A round is handled by a professor of a higher authority and whom everybody perceives as an experienced individual. The facilitator handling the assessment is also asked to join one round of these instructional rounds. The group asked to participate is made up of three to five professors, except for the administering person.

The professor should notify the class if a supervisor would be visiting in the middle of the class. Once the administering personnel has arrived in the classroom, they immediately jot down notes connected to the facilitator performance and technique in teaching the class. The entire observation allows a person to take note of practices that caught their attention.

The entire examination could last up to ten to fifteen minutes and that period, the administer jots down their assessment in accordance to an area which they give more emphasis. They give more importance to a teacher attitude in connection to the points being highlighted, instead of rating them individually. The participants gathers as a group once the observation is completed, and deliberate about the outcome of this activity.

The deliberation starts with the supervising teacher to reiterate the goal of this examination. There are certain rules each participant should follow, and one of that is whatever results were passed on between them, they should not talk about it with outsiders. Non participating professors are not permitted to have an access to criticisms, so talking about them outside the round is strictly prohibited.

A professor is not allowed to state any sentiment and feedback not until the concerned party gives their permission. A pulse and delta format is followed in creating a smooth flow of communication within the concerned personnel, in which pulse could mean their individual strengths and delta could mean their weaknesses. Reiterating the pulse, and stating the reason how they earned that positive feedback signals the start of their deliberation.

After hearing each other positive points, they now take turn in stating the deltas wherein they bring up issues, concerns, and questions about a professor teaching techniques. They try to take in everything in a comprehensive manner to prevent a person in jumping to conclusions. As the professors discover that their teaching practices is the right course of action, they feel comfort and ease.

The conference comes to a halt by the time a facilitator has found a style that piqued their interest, and because of that, they would be doubting is they would continue their personal strategy or adapt what other professors use to efficiently educate the students. They are presented with the opportunity to continue their style or innovate the practice they have observed.

For example, they have observed that randomly calling students created a big impact on their learning atmosphere, since the first time they used this style. The participants are given the option to imitate this style and innovate it, or plainly imitate it. All the observations can generate ideas that could create a conducive learning within the classroom.
