Yesterday, I became an ISTE Certified Educator. The process stretched my thinking and got me outside of my comfort zone. Thank you to the support team that helped me get there! #ISTECert @LeeAnn_Edvolve @ssallee @Edtechiness @EdTechSarahH @mnm723 @A_HendersonAZ

@EdTechSarahH A4: We are going to have to adapt. The real work is done when we are challenged and it will take real talk to help guide that conversation. I love the new question, "On a scale of 1 - 5, how committed are you to this goal?" This is the work. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

Q4 - The Impact Cycle - Chapter 5 - Pg. 144 - Howo can you avoid the trap of picking a less challenging goal? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@mnm723 @EdTechSarahH This feels super powerful. The coach is just facilitating, and the teacher is always the decision maker. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A3: I need to work on giving up the control. Ensuring that the teacher is in driver's seat and making those decisions on what's next. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

Q3 - The Impact Cycle - Chapter 5 - Pg. 141 - How can we "balance advocay with inquiry" to make the necessary improvements to continue the coaching process? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A3: Staying genuinely curious and always assuming we are doing what is best for our students. Asking clarifying questions for students puts them on guard, causing them to think something is wrong, the same happens with adults. We need to normalize genuine inquiry and curiosity.

@mnm723 @EdTechSarahH This is why the coaching PLC is so important. We need to be building tools together and share our experiences in a safe space. I am so excited about building Playbooks together. Build a shared vision for the district. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A1: Invent Improvements will be the most h challenging for me. I struggle with imposter syndrome at times so frankly, I just feel like I don't have many tools to share with my colleagues. I know I do since I'm in this role but I struggle anyway. #FUSDBookStudy #ImpactCycle

Q1: The Impact Cycle - Chapter 5 - On pg. 133 - Which step from the 'Improve Stage' will be the most challenging part for you and your coaching conversations? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A2: If the teacher doesn't feel connected to the coach, they are not going to feel safe having those feelings, like anxiety. I think Step 1 in the Improve process is key here. Decompress and feel the feels together so we can find the destination. #FUSDBookStudy #ImpactCycle

Q2 - The Impact Cycle - Chapter 5 - On Pg. 138 - The Implementation Dip - How do you coach through The Implementation Dip and stay motivated? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A1: Step 1! I can see the importance and value of the step, but stopping our work to check in and making sure we are still on track is going to be difficult. I tend to jump in so I know slowing down to check in will be very intentional on my part. #FUSDBookStudy #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH I am so intrigued by The Checklist Manifesto. The research behind the balance of just enough detail is fascinating to me. I already have it on my reading list!! #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

Q4: The Impact Cycle - Chapter 4: In Going Deeper on page 128, what book are you interested in reading to further your understanding of this chapter? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A3: Because I love collaborating, my go to is always going to be co-teaching. I am glad he laid out all of the choices, with the pros and cons because I need to make sure I am offering the best option for my coachee, not the one I want to do. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

Q3: The Impact Cycle - Chapter 4: What are some ways you've been successful with your approaches to modeling? (Pg. 116) #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@mnm723 @EdTechSarahH Same!!

@EdTechSarahH My biggest struggle with creating and using lists is that I tend to be detail oriented and write all steps excessively. I worry that's what I'll do with checklists: hold my reader's hand and that's not the way to do this. #FUSDBookStudy #impactcycle #FUSDchat

Q2: The Impact Cycle - Chatper 4: What is going to be your biggest struggle creating and using checklists? (Pg. 107) #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A2: My biggest struggle is going to be navigating the less is more philosophy. Giving enough to keep the engagement but not so much that I am doing all of the work. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@mnm723 @EdTechSarahH I love this!! Thinking big picture and looking at each departments needs. This is an incredible resource. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A1: Playbooks could be utilized in the EdTech world by incorporating playbooks into the trainings for teachers that are new to the district. These would be so useful and a great reference tool. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDchat #impactcycle

Q1: The Impact Cycle - Chapter 4: How are you planning to incorporate playbooks into your everyday coaching practices? (pg. 104) #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A1:District normed playbooks would be amazing. Just think about how much we could accomplish if we had established strategies that were part of our unified playbook. Utilizing coaching PLCs to make those powerful instructional moves is a dream. #FUSDBookStudy #ImpactCycle

@mnm723 @EdTechSarahH I love the idea of really diving into what is working and what isn’t! #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A3: I feel like this rating process helps the teacher take ownership of the coaching process. It also helps to see what worked well and what did not work in the lesson. This leads to a goal that the teacher can create from their reflection. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

Q3 - The Impact Cycle - Chapter 3 - Questions 1-5 (pg. 84) of the 10 Identify Questions - ask teachers to rate their lesson, how does rating a lesson help identify a goal? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@mnm723 @EdTechSarahH This is so fun!! Definitely puts the teacher in the driver seat. I really was so eye opening reading this section. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH Definitely creates teacher buy in since they are a primary decision maker. The can use their coach as a sounding board and someone to collaborate with. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH OMGoodness! Reading through this and the research behind it!! I love this! I’m not guiding anything, and it’s all on the teacher to prioritize the needs. I wrote down so many book titles that I want to learn more about because of this!! #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@mnm723 @EdTechSarahH This is so true!! I am sure we are going to get a lot of practice not leading with the questions!! Just practicing being curious without any other distractions! #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A2: I need to work on "Keeping Ourselves Out of the Answers", I'm constantly working on not giving advice disguised as a question. Legging the learner talk freely and ensuring I don't lead them into a direction or answer. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

Q2 - The Impact Cycle - Chapter 3 - Of the 7 practices of good questions (listed in the image below), which one do you need to work on, and how will you practive that skill? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH This is one of mine as well. I feel like I’m there to help so not being part of the solution seems so foreign. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

A2: I think that I will struggle most with practice number 7 - I always want to be part of the solution - But I will need to make sure my teachers are self reliant so that they can work on their skills and acquire new skills in the future. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A2: Several of these are going to be difficult for me but the welcoming environment is going to be the hardest. I tend to jump in because we have work to do and the welcoming is so foundational to all of the hard work that needs to be done. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH I never thought about making it Powerful but the rational was remarkable! The entire revamp of goal writing is so on point for my own values! #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

A1: I think PEERS goals are more effective because it is more student centered given that P in PEERS stands for Powerful - "Will this goal make a real difference in students' lives" pg.67 and that S does stand for Student-Focused which "Provides clear feedback... for Ss." pg.71

Q1 - The Impact Cycle - Chapter 3 - In Education, we are often asked to write goals, The Impact Cycle advocates for PEERS goals. Why are PEERS goals more effective in coaching conversations? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle
