Implementation 0 Buy-‐in from staff who participate and a plan for implementation. What is your goal for using the system?
0 Train numerous staff members to use system for coaching: administrators, academic specialist, department heads, academic leads, etc.
0 Use for coaching, not punitive measures. 0 What are you going to do with the results? 0 Set-‐up, practice runs, and working out the logistics.
LIVE COACHING 0 Focus the coaching on the coaches strengths. This way the coaching is valid and not Rilled with ‘Rluff’.
0 Practice, Practice, Practice the live coaching with the ear bud and mic before attempting it with students.
0 This type of coaching should be a follow-‐up to other methods that have been previously in place for it to be truly effective.
OBSERVING 0 Time stamping comments. 0 Reviewing the session with the teacher and using techniques to focus in on strengths and weaknesses. After that, devising a plan to implement strategies to increase student engagement and rigor.
0 When a teacher watches themselves teach and address students, the effect is immeasurable. Self-‐assessment is a wonderful tool.
0 Numerous ways to use recorded sessions for best practices PD vertically, personally, departmentally, and even with students.
THINGS TO AVOID 0 Poor planning in implementation of the equipment 0 No teacher buy-‐in or support of recording their teaching
0 Not enough staff know how to operate the equipment 0 No solid plan in place for implementation of recorded sessions
0 Using the sessions for punitive reasons 0 Being ‘big brother’
