Coaching Internship!

We had a great week working with coaches from Arab, Albertville City, Boaz, Dekalb and Fort Payne Schools!!! Here are a few reflections from their learning experiences: 

 "The planning phase requires being very proactive and thoughtful. It is very important to know your teachers and focus on student data. Using fine grain evidence and being very specific about the details you observed is essential. You should always reflect and focus on the 3, 2, 1 debriefing protocol so your thoughts and questioning will flow and lead you and the teacher where you need to go. Feedback should focus on student learning and provide next steps."

"I have learned so much about communication between the coach and teacher. I will take back the importance of questioning. Reflection is an important time to organize thoughts independently. The feedback between coach and teacher is where so much learning takes place."
