Elementary English: K-2
Room 106
Let’s collaborate with colleagues to gain an understanding of the relationship between clarity and teaching and learning in the K-2 classroom. As we by observe a video clip of instruction, we’ll zoom in on the four dimensions of clarity:
- Organization
- Explanation
- Examples and guided practice
- Assessment of student learning
We will continue to understand how these dimensions are the foundation of teacher clarity, which will improve teaching and learning in the ELA classroom.

1:00 - 3:45 Results Coaching
Great Room
In the afternoon, teachers-leaders and coaches will have an opportunity to continue a series of sessions with Natalie Szakacs from NIET to build their coaching toolbox.
This session will review some from last time and set the need: Do we (when we are in the coaching role) know we have prepared for coaching? How do we know if our “preparedness” is impacting the quality of our coaching? We will be specifically digging into the elements of a coaching plan. (Results Coaching) The goal is for each attendee to identify personal coaching strengths as it relates to the elements of a coaching plan and set a goal to grow in one area.
