A3 This year, I would like to try using the Results-Based Coaching Tool from the book. #icmisd #studentcenteredcoaching #mymisd

A2 A focus on student growth will frame our coaching so we are not seen as evaluators but a resource. #icmisd #mymisd #studentcenteredcoaching

A1 Using the MOI to guide our observations has been beneficial when visiting classrooms. We also utilize an observation sheet during Instructional Rounds which guide visiting teachers to look for instructional strategies they will try. #icmisd #StudentCenteredCoaching #mymisd

A4 The learning targets are used to guide our coaching conversations. They help us identify the strengths and the struggles of our students so decisions about the next steps for instruction can be made. #studentcenteredcoaching #icmisd

A3 When meeting with Ts, we look at student samples and set goals together in order to align coaching opportunities. I liked the idea in chapter 4 about sorting the student work to help address student needs. #studentcenteredcoaching #icmisd

A2 I think the key to planning lessons that are productive and meaningful is to preconference with the teacher. Understanding where the students are in their learning and where they need to go (TEKS) is essential to determining appropriate learning targets.

A1 The data used to drive our coaching conversations typically begin with a discussion of student behaviors. That then opens the door to looking at data from formative and summative assessments in the classroom. #icmisd #studentcenteredcoaching

@BathmanEDU @NickDeFelice1 @CyndyBice @mistyryoung @SBWoodard1 @hpineroteach We are so excited to have you at Slaughter!

A7 Lifelong learner here 🙋‍♀️ I get to see so many incredible Ts do their thing, I’m always listening to podcasts about new things, & being in a new school, I learn everyday! I try to step out of my comfort zone to model a growth mindset #studentcenteredcoaching #ICMISD #MyMISD
