We’re excited to offer Klingenstein Instructional Rounds: Houston, 2027, a dynamic professional-learning experience that connects teachers across schools and strengthens practice through observation, inquiry, and collaboration.

Grounded in the Instructional Rounds model from Harvard Graduate School of Education—and infused with research-based practices that strengthen listening and belonging—this two-day deep-dive experience invites educators to step into classrooms, hone their observational senses, and build shared visions of high-quality teaching and learning within a supportive, teacher-led inquiry network. Pre- and post-session Zooms provide opportunities for pre-training and reflection.

Klingenstein Instructional Rounds: Houston 2027 will be hosted in-person by The John Cooper School on Wednesday, February 17, 2027 and Annunciation Orthodox School on Thursday, February 18, 2027. A light social reception will be offered on the evening of Wednesday the 17th.
