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

[Donna Ferguson @DLFerguson5]

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

[Donna Ferguson @DLFerguson5]

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

[Donna Ferguson @DLFerguson5]

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

[Donna Ferguson @DLFerguson5]

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

[Donna Ferguson @DLFerguson5]

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.

[Donna Ferguson @DLFerguson5]

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
