In-Classroom Teaching Coaching Sessions
Often the most effective coaching occurs when a non-evaluative professional works directly with a teacher or teaching team. Our approach is invitational and highly collaborative, reducing the stress typically present for any teacher when they are being observed. We offer individual coaching that includes:
Observing a teacher or teaching team for a class period
Completing a “Chat Guide” sheet reflecting what we observed. This includes sections such as: “What you did really well”; “How about trying this?” “What would you like to work on improving?”
Post-observation “chat” during which we review the Chat Guide with each teacher or team, and together select a focus for implementation
A scheduled time 2 weeks later when we return to the same classroom to observe again what the teacher(s) implemented based on our first learning visit.
Ongoing support to teacher(s) through email, Zoom etc.
