Episode 6: A Coaching Grab Bag

Today’s podcast addresses a variety of aspects of coaching teachers. We consider the approach to coaching, who to focus on, and how to break coaching into A-B steps. This is NOT a training on how to coach, but rather is a discussion about some of the issues that pop up in the coaching process.

Show Notes

Today we are doing a coaching grab bag. Today’s episode was inspired by my ongoing work with assistant principals from several different school districts. With these APs we’ve already looked at different types of teacher observations (there are four), some basic observation tools, and some post-observation conferencing strategies. Last month each AP chose one thing to focus on helping a single teacher improve on. Earlier this week we unpacked their experiences and there was so much to talk about.
