@ThomasDuebner @BridgetFarr @DrDeMatt @justwords74 @msgandomi @meganewehrle @_RaChELSCoTT_ @JohnKadura @JohnRatko @glrorozco What reflective questions would you use to help these teachers find long term solutions that meet the needs of their students? Where would you start? #UTAPP

@BridgetFarr @DrDeMatt @justwords74 @msgandomi @meganewehrle @_RaChELSCoTT_ @JohnKadura @JohnRatko @PugaATX @glrorozco I guess I am seeing teachers implementing blanket fixes in the classroom without assessing the needs of the students or meeting them where they are. Some high yield fixes may work with a certain student body and not with another.

Many #UTAPP cohort members used "relevance" & "real world learning experiences" to discuss coaching. Is there irrelevant coaching? What makes relevance? @BridgetFarr @ThomasDuebner @justwords74 @msgandomi @meganewehrle @_RaChELSCoTT_ @JohnKadura @JohnRatko @PugaATX @glrorozco

@meganewehrle I agree, many coaching and teaching strategies are very similar and should all be grounded in respect. #UTAPP
English

A3: Choice--"When you insist, they will resist." Just as we give validate the knowledge and dignity of our students, we should do the same for teachers. #UTAPP
English

@ThomasDuebner Q3: And questioning that leads to deep reflection! #UTAPP
English

A3- Going off of many of my colleagues, I think modeling authentic reflection is they key to improving instruction. #UTAPP
English

A6: Campus leadership teams can experience real learning through a book or chapter study using Jim Knights Impact Cycle. Teams can use this to create norms and define roles of campus based instructional coaches. #UTAPP
English

A5: Instructional coaches need time to have meaningful discussions with teachers. Teachers and coaches also need to devote time to team and trust building activities to have a solid relationship to build on. How are campuses defining this role? #UTAPP
English

A4: "Real Learning" gets to the core of who you are and often involves meaningful real life experiences. Real learning changes your course of action.#UTAPP
English

A3: Equality: A coach is a partner who helps to facilitate reflection and guide discussions. A coach does not give directives, threats, or use intimidation methods to work with their partners. Coaches view their partners as equals, and as competent, talented humans. #UTAPP
English

A2: Coaching is a partnership grounded in trust in which all members work together to find solutions towards meeting a common goal. #UTAPP
