In line with Brent's comment, What instructional moves helped the students meet the lesson's objectives? What factors may have impeded all students from meeting the lesson's objectives?

Hi Shellie, Thanks for joining us. I always love thinking through conundrums with you! #G2Great

A2. Christy made a great point about being a good listener! As coaches, we sometimes tend to dominate the conversations without realizing it. Audio recording a few of our conversations will help us know if we are listening as much (or more) than we're talking. #G2Great

A3 Like coaches, principals are busy people. so, if we go to them with a problem, it's great if we have two or three possible solutions to talk through with the principal - rather than ask him or her to come up with a solution. #G2Great.

As Yvette said, being responsive is so important. To me, that includes following through on the commitments you make to teachers. It's sometimes hard not to over-commit. #educoach

Principals who establish schedules that include common grade-level planning time really enables coaches to support a whole grade level - really helps coaches make the best use of their time. #educoach

Trying to avoid the use of "I" is a goal of many coaches. Instead of saying "I liked it when . . .", coaches are saying "It was effective when you (did this) because the students were aboe to . . . #educoach

In addition to time spent coaching, looking at the specific coaching activities can be helpful. If coaches are doing a lot of modeling, how do they move on to co-teaching and observing teachers implementing lessons? Always looking to build teachers' capacity. #educoach

Thanks for inviting us to join educoach this week! Lots of great sharing! #educoach

Q5 What are your biggest obstacles and how have you addressed them? #litcoachchat

A5 Making sure we move on from modeling to co-planning/co-teaching #litcoachchat

A5 Not letting anything interfere with time set for coaching is hard - esp when prin asks you to go to yet another mtg! #litcoachchat

A6 Right now prin I'm working with has scheduled common grade level co-planning time when coach is also free #litcoachchat

A6 WOW Paula Great idea Lots of time to chat informally at conferences - builds good relationships #litcoachchat

Teachers are like pistachios some are open to coaching, some are nott, some may be Start with the open ones - others follow #litcoachchat

A7 Great to "see" so many coaching friends on Twitter. #litcoachchat
