slide-23
SLIDE 23

Recommendations from What Works Clearinghouse

Interventions should focus intensely on in-depth understanding of whole numbers (K-5) and rational numbers (grades 4-8). Interventions should include instruction on solving word problems that is based on common underlying structures. Interventions at all grade levels should devote about 10 minutes in each session to building fluent retrieval of basic facts.

Resources and Programs

Use your rubric to evaluate programs!

  • Does the program use consistent models and visual

representations?

  • Is the program explicit and systematic?
  • Are their opportunities to verbalize thought

processes?

  • Does the program follow the C-R-A progression?
  • Does the program have a frequent cumulative

review?

Supporting systematic change in a school community is a long-term journey that begins with dreams and big ideas which can be embraced by faculty, administration, students, families, and community members initially with words which develops into actions or behaviors and then become habits through practice to ultimately form climate or culture.

What factors lead to teachers changing their classroom practices?

slide-37
SLIDE 37

6 key elements contribute to effective staff development that helps teachers change their classroom practices.

  • 1. A deep understanding of teachers’ strengths and weaknesses.
  • 2. Concrete evidence that influences beliefs and shows that change

will be worth the effort.

  • 3. Communication and assistance (coaching) in ways that meet

each teacher’s learning style and needs.

  • 4. A focus on problems that concern the teachers.
  • 5. Deep, Level III collaboration.
  • 6. A common framework for unbiased discussion of education.

(Kise, 2006)

SLIDE 38

Adult Learning

Assumptions:

  • Adults have a drive toward competence, which is linked to self-image and

efficacy.

  • Learning is enhanced when adults are active, involved, and self-directed.
  • What is to be learned must hold meaning; it must connect with current

understandings, knowledge, experience, and purpose.

  • We don’t learn from experience as much as we learn from processing our

experience – both successes and failures. Self-refection, self-assessment, and self-direction are critical to learning and development.

  • Learning is both an opportunity and a risk; it requires dissonance and

change.

  • Learning is the continual process of identity formation, or growing into

more of who we are becoming.

(New Teacher Center, 2011)

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Your experience as a coach…

  • 1. Experience as an educational coach (i.e., behavioral, instructional,

academic, reading/literacy) with clearly defined role and responsibilities.

  • 2. Experience as an educational coach without a clear understanding
  • f roles and responsibilities.
  • 3. No experience as an educational coach but have a clear

understanding of future role and responsibilities.

  • 4. No experience as an educational coach and lack understanding of

role and responsibilities.

slide-40
SLIDE 40

As educators, we read research indicating teacher quality is the most important factor in student achievement, so we simply select a good teacher who has the most knowledge (or more likely, the most seniority) from within the ranks of the staff, promote him or her, and bestow upon the teacher the title of “instructional coach.” One minute a classroom teacher; the next, a “teacher educator.” We don’t have a clear idea what that title means or what the person in the role should be doing specifically, but we charge ahead, trusting (or often just hoping) that the person with the title will somehow discover the way.

(Hall & Simeral, 2008)

Effective coaching incorporates an array of interrelated approaches that promote coherence, focus, and alignment at multiple levels of school systems:

  • Investment in human capital
  • Sustainability
  • Equity and internal accountability
  • Connecting school and district

(Annenberg Institute for School Reform)

slide-42
SLIDE 42

A growing body of research suggests that coaching is a promising element of effective professional development in some of the following ways.

  • Effective coaching encourages collaborative, reflective practice.
  • Effective embedded professional learning promotes positive culture

change.

  • A focus on content encourages the use of data analysis to inform

practice.

  • Coaching promotes the implementation of learning and reciprocal

accountability.

  • Coaching supports collective, interconnected leadership across a

school system.

(Annenberg Institute for School Reform)

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Outcomes of Coaching

  • Fluency with training skills
  • Adaptation of trained concepts/skills to local contexts

and challenges (and new challenges that arise)

  • Rapid redirection from miss-applications
  • Increased fidelity of overall implementation
  • Improved sustainability

Challenges to Effective Coaching

  • Too great a focus on the classroom isolates coaching

from systemic goals.

  • Coaching is one element of a professional development

system, not the only answer.

  • Coaching models are often not adapted well.
  • Whether voluntary or mandated, coaching can fail to

reach resistant teachers.

  • School and central office supports are often underused
  • r inaccessible.

(Annenberg Institute for School Reform)

slide-47
SLIDE 47

Challenges to Effective Coaching con’t…

  • Coaching programs often lack assessment indicators and

systematic documentation of impact.

  • A focus on process limits the rigorous analysis of data

and content.

  • Coaching often focuses on broad strategies to the

exclusion of differentiation and equity.

  • Teachers are typically the “learners,” but learning must
  • ccur at all levels.

(Annenberg Institute for School Reform)

What are the characteristics

  • f an effective coach?
slide-49
SLIDE 49

An effective coach…

 Is highly self-reflective.  Is skilled in recognizing others’ strengths, abilities, and beliefs.  Is a servant leader.  Is patient.  Considers “the bus question.”

(Hall & Simeral, 2008)

slide-50
SLIDE 50

Coaching is…

  • The active delivery of:
  • Prompts that increase successful behavior.
  • Corrections that decrease unsuccessful behavior.
  • Done by someone with credibility and experience with

the target skill(s).

  • Done on-site, in real time.
  • Done repeatedly (e.g. monthly).
  • Flexible, adjusting intensity as needed.

(http://www.pbis.org)

slide-51
SLIDE 51

Coaching is…

Set of responsibilities, actions, activities …not a person. Bridge between training & implementation …not administrative accountability. Positive & supportive …not nagging.

(http://pbismaryland.org)

slide-52
SLIDE 52

Coaching…

Is the art of identifying and developing a person’s

  • strengths. Even when a teacher needs to build skills in

areas that are natural weaknesses for them, coaches help them do that through techniques that utilize strengths. Is a partnership between the coach and the person being coached.

(Kise, 2006)

slide-53
SLIDE 53

Coaching…

Recognizes that individual differences will and should occur in how most changes are implemented in the classroom. A coach works to understand how a practice fits with an individual teacher’s style and then helps that teacher develop his or her own strategies within the parameters of a school reform.

(Kise, 2006)

slide-54
SLIDE 54

Coaching…

Is NOT a method for squelching resistance to change without understanding the underlying causes of that

  • resistance. Instead, it is a tool for understanding the fears

and obstacles, real or imagined, that teachers face and then addressing those obstacles in ways that provide support for the teacher.

(Kise, 2006)

slide-55
SLIDE 55

Coaching…

Is far from a “white rat” supervision tool, where

  • nce the coach identifies a teachers’ type or learning style,

he or she applies a given set of practices. Each teacher comes with not just a personality type, but concerns, educational experiences, models of excellence, tried-and- true methods, and prior successes and failures that also influence how they teach – and how they need to be coached.

(Kise, 2006)

slide-56
SLIDE 56

Guiding Principles for Effective Coaching

  • Build local capacity.
  • Become unnecessary…but remain available.
  • Maximize current competence.
  • Never change things that are working.
  • Always make the smallest change that will have the biggest

impact.

  • Focus on valued outcomes.
  • Tie all efforts to the benefits for children.
slide-57
SLIDE 57

Guiding Principles for Effective Coaching cont...

  • Emphasize accountability.
  • Measure and report; measure and report; measure and report.
  • Build on credibility through:
  • Consistency,
  • Competence with behavioral principles/practices,
  • Relationships,
  • Time investment,
  • Precorrect for success.

Coaches and Administrators

The key is for the coach and the administrator to view their roles as interdependent, relying on each other to fully support, challenge, and guide teachers as they strive for improvement.

(Hall & Simeral, 2008))

slide-65
SLIDE 65

When a teacher and a coach can enter a collaborative relationship with the expressed goal

  • f learning together, the results are advantageous

to all. Not only do both the teacher and coach enhance their professional skills, but by working together, they also engage in the practice of

  • reflection. Ultimately, the students reap the
  • benefits. It’s a win-win situation.

(Simeral & Hall, 2008)

slide-67
SLIDE 67

Consult

  • To give or take counsel.
  • This moves beyond simple advice giving.
  • To offer counsel and to provide the “why,

what, and how,” of your thinking.

slide-68
SLIDE 68

Collaborate

  • To work together.
  • This means creating a space for true,

shared idea generation and reflection with attention to one’s own impulse control, so the coachee has room and an invitation to fully participate as an equal.

slide-69
SLIDE 69

Coach

  • A vehicle for transporting a valued

colleague from one place to another.

  • It is the coachee’s journey. The coach is a

guide and support system.
