What does this combination of present perfect continuous and "each"mean?
I have come across this sentence:
Over the past two weeks I have been visiting each class and I am very impressed by the level of engagement. (It is the principal who is visiting.)
What does "over the past two weeks I have been visiting each" mean? That two weeks ago I started visiting classes and it is my goal to visit each one of them?
Does it mean that I have visited each class multiple times over the past two weeks? Or that over the past two weeks I have visited each class?
