I have found that certain habits lead to the deepest coaching cycles. One of my top essentials is a weekly meeting. Here is my go-to routine! The more we foster these habits & evolve as needed based on our partner, the more sustainable this work can be. #d100inspires

Two examples of quick ideas teachers came up with when they noticed a challenge: 1. not sure who really grasped the lesson & 2.always being asked how to spell words. Teachers are the best problem-solvers!💯 #d100inspires #teampershing

Started my day greeting students with this gem of a human before she heads off to the 1st gr field trip. Anyone wanna sign my petition that she’s not allowed to retire? 😉 @rmbtowner_tech #d100inspires

When coaching, I always have an at-a-glance anecdotal page ready to jot down observations based on what a teacher is focusing on. A simple “what evidence do you want me to look for today?” can go a long way! #d100inspires #teampershing #instructionalCoaching

Coaching in the midst of a new curriculum adoption can feel overwhelming. Together with your partners, always focus on a goal with a clear plan. Check in daily, communicate constantly, & focus on evidence of learning. We've got this💪 #d100inspires #coaching

Feeling all over the place? Inspired by #StudentCenteredCoaching, we’re organizing student evidence that aligns with our focus standards into folders. This simple step helps us anchor our work in STUDENTS👏🏻 any other tips on focus & alignment in a cycle?

TFW a coaching cycle comes together, connects to the SIP, is research-based with room for creativity, and has specific ways of tracking student progress to keep a student-centered approach… 💫 here we go! 👏🏻 #teampershing #d100inspires @Ms_Bazz @samshuman24
