Why is Traditional PD not so Effective?
6
• There are always more pressing things to do
• There are too many competing initiatives
• There is a lot of training; some good/some bad
• Change is just so complex!
• It is difficult to change teaching habits!
Jim Knight (2008)

• determine schedule for coaching• arrange an informal class demonstration/observation early in the cycle
2
• Lesson Planning Meeting• co-plan lesson to reflect focus areas and criteria• consider a video of the lesson
3
• Lesson: coachee teaches lesson and collects 'evidence of practice'• coachee collects samples of student work to reflect on and discuss• coachee views video and reflects on the lesson

“This is what we are suggesting for your first couple of coaching sessions: Ask them about their strengths, their good practices, and the contributions they have made to TC in recent years. This would make a pleasant starting conversation and would be good practice for their interview. Suggest they do some work on aligning their strengths, practices and contributions to the Teacher Competency Standards and start working on a portfolio of evidence to support them. They should also be thinking about their gaps and the goals they want to set for this year, and completing Appendix B and C just like everyone else. The first draft of Appendix C, following your first coaching session, should be shared with your coachee’s Programme Coordinator.” Lauren Wilson, 23 February 2014
