The teacher and coach engage in a post-conference where the coach poses questions to help the teacher develop capacity. The note-taker takes careful notes of the discussion.

  3. In groups of three decide who will be the coach and who will be the teacher and who will be a note-taker.

  4. Conduct the Coaching Pre-Lesson Conference The 6th Grade Math Task that will be Used in the Lesson

  5. Conduct a Post Lesson Conference Using Student Work

  6. From Your Perspective as a Teacher, Coaches, Observer • Which questions/comments seemed most helpful in either pre- or post- conference. • Which questions/comments seemed least productive?

  7. Classifying Post-observation Communication Below is a list modes of communication used during coaching sessions: • Giving advice (Red) • Criticizing (Blue) • Asking questions to find out what the teacher intended (Yellow) • Sharing curiosity about student’s thinking (Orange) • Collaborative problem-solving on specific issues (Purple) • Praising or affirming (Green) • Other (White) EDC Lenses on Learning Analyze the coach’s communication by categorizing each statement by the mode of communication that was employed. Use a pie graph to reflect the portions of each mode used in the discussion. Color according to key.

  8. Examining Pie Charts • What types of communication appears in the Other category? • How are the graphs alike and different? • Which categories do you value? • Which categories do you wish to avoid? • What are some of the variables that might make these charts look different?
