15 Critical Questions Checklist Questions about Critical Questions Are the questions written in a form that requires an extended verbal explanation? Yes or No? Have I written how or why questions rather than objectives or commands? Do the questions identify ways in which students should understand the information to be learned? Do the questions communicate how students should learn the content? Do the questions help students think not only about the content but also about how the content is meaningful or important? Do my questions prompt students to relate learning to their lives or other learning? Do my questions help students organize information to be learned? Do my questions include expectations for learning how to use the content as well as what content to learn? Do my questions help students identify the critical content structures, concepts, or ideas to be learned? Have I limited my number of questions to ten or fewer? 15

45 What do you think of these comments? Lynn, you did a great job with that class yesterday. You re great! I d like to especially recognize Tricia s contributions this year. Ric, you re a patient man. I appreciate how patient you are.

46 Ongoing regard Kegan & Lahey (2001) How the way we talk can change the way we work positive comments fail when they are (a) indirect, (b) general, (c) attributive

47 Nearly every organization or work team we ve spent time with astonishingly undercommunicates the genuinely positive, appreciative, and admiring experiences of its members. This is a terrible deprivation of the vitality of a work setting. Kegan & Lahey (2001)

48 Constructive Feedback Coach Uses data to shape Teacher

50 Refine Observations, data, feedback may turn the collaboration in a new direction Coach s goal is to provide as much support as necessary, but no more

51 Reflect

52 What are the keys to successful coaching programs?

53 #1 Sufficient Time

54 Time flies Too many things need to be done Coaches have a flexible schedule Their job descriptions are vague

55 If coaches do not focus on instruction, how will they move the school forward?

56

57 #2 Proven Interventions

58 # 3 Professional Development for coaches

59 #4 Protecting the coaching relationship

60 We see coaching as a partnership activity

61 The principal must be the instructional leader

62 To protect the coaching relationship The principal, or other administrators, evaluate, direct, enforce when necessary The coach should be perceived as a peer always be a lifeline, never a punishment The coach needs to work with the strong and the weak teachers

63 # 5 Ensuring that coaches and principals work together

64 Coach & principal Need to be on the same page Do the coach and principal Understand all of the interventions? Have a shared understanding of all teachers needs? Have a shared vision about school improvement?

65 Weekly meeting agenda 1. Principal concerns 2. Problem solving regarding those concerns 3. What the coach has done since last meeting 4. Discussion of interventions

66 # 6 Hiring the right coaches

67 Quality coaches need to be Excellent teachers Engaging personalities Flexible Quick learners Ambitious for the school and students Personally modest

68 Our hiring practices include Interview questions that address these attributes Model lessons

69 # 7 Evaluating coaches and programs

70 Evaluating programs 1. Participants reactions 2. Participants learning 3. Organizational support & change 4. Participant s use of new knowledge & skills 5. Student learning outcomes

71 Evaluating coaches Evaluation needs to address at least three issues Coaching skills (communication, personal management, leadership) Use of time Interventions knowledge (the Big Four)
