The Covington Schools implemented an electronic walkthrough (e-walk) as a classroom data collection tool for the 2011-2012 school year.  The data are used as part of the focus visit process.  The district conducted nearly 4,000 e-walk classroom visits and student interviews for the year.  A summary of findings will be provided as an informational item.

Covington Schools self-administered a mid-cycle Teaching, Empowering, Leading, and Learning (TELL) survey to all of our certified staff in April of 2012. Since the official TELL survey will not be giving until next school-year, our leadership felt the need to seek teacher feedback. The results were positive and show that our school leaders are implementing strategies to address the findings of the original TELL survey of 2011.
