Weekly Coaching Focus Areas: 1/4-1/8
Observing with Data in Hand
One of the priorities that I want us to fulfill as coaches this semester is to observe with data in hand/hard copy in each observation. This will help to sharpen your eye as a coach to become more data driven as well as support you in developing your teachers' development of executing and planning in a data-driven way.
What does data in hand mean?
Entering a classroom with some form of data wall (STEP wall, Cumulative assessment data wall, NWEA quartile wall, etc.)
For this week and next week, you should/could use the prework that you each completed for data days since it already provides information about where students are falling within the cohort.
In the Moment Coaching
This is a priority that I want us to have in also creating a tighter feedback loop with teachers so that they grow better faster.
For this week, you can focus your in-the-moment coaching on "Do It Again" opportunities for teachers.
However, remember that in the moment coaching is just as effective and should be used to coach teachers academically/content-wise in the moment.
Capturing Video
Capture video - quick snippets or longer lessons - of teachers when you're observing. Use this as game film for yourself to watch so that you build your skill in coaching teachers while also identifying their greatest gap area.
