Hanging in my hotel room getting my head right for the last day with my OK coaches for the 2023-2024 school year. So grateful to @iCoachDawn for trusting me three years ago to take on this work. I have learned so much! #everyonedeservesacoach

I had the best time with this future instructional coach. She won a raffle to go on a compliment walk with me and we celebrated all the great things Smith Strong teachers are doing! @smithelem_Noel @ci_elem

This: 👉 “I serve on the board of my kid’s school in Florida, and the notion that we are trying to pull the gay or the straight out of them is just ridiculous. Schools aren’t trying to turn kids into ‘wokesters.’ We’re trying to turn them into ‘warriors.’ And these culture wars that divide us and use schools as weapons to inflame… Instead of working on the things that actually affect us, people want to figure out what offends us so they can raise money.” — @profgalloway

Just put the finishing touches on the the next day of learning with my Oklahoma coaches! Can’t wait for how their perspectives will help me grow as a coach as well. #reciprocity

Happy Black History Month. So thankful for the black educators in my life who have helped me be more culturally competent (I still have lots to learn). #smithstrong #antiracist #fisd

When you were only ever taught standard algorithm and you are partnering with a teacher to support multiplication representations you swallow your pride and ask for clarification. #alwayslearning #imamathematican

Today I had the pleasure of working with a group of educators on creating an instructional playbook. By the end we were tired but the collaboration was amazing and our product is going to be a fabulous tool! #educoach #OSDEcoaches

Working on small groups that focus on writing about reading. I love that I am surrounded by professionals so willing to grow their practices! @smithelem_Noel @ci_elem

A3 I try to pick only one part of the day to focus on to make the goal bite sized. Usually the strategy we use to hit the goal will transfer to other parts of the schedule. Ex: increase opportunity to respond during reading mini-less. #educoach

A2 Basic 5 from Coaching classroom management by Randy Sprick is my go to. There are some great PBIS tier 1 self assessments out there that can be very helpful. #educoach

A1 I have a observation tool to collect data on 5 different components of classroom management. Procedures, \-, OTR, disruptions and time on task. Then teachers can decide which component is the most important to focus on first. #educoach
