#educoach A5: The partnership between IC and T seems crucial. When they are peers in the process, the T is empowered. When the IC is seen as a supervisor or in their class to "fix" their teaching, it's a tougher hurdle to clear.

#educoach A6: Instructional data is standard for most - benchmarks, state testing, etc... Some Ts partner with an IC to improve classroom management. Data such as counting # of Ss blurting out or % of dead time is much more informal, but can be used as well.

#educoach A7: Main impression to me is the importance of the IC/T relationship. Without a trusting and equal partnership, the coaching may not be productive.

#educoach Roy, Georgia teacher, looking to get back into coaching. Caught 50 fish with my fly rod earlier this week. Does that count as a success?

#educoach A1: As a classroom T I will have to just lurk on this Q. Not many ICs in our district, either, so I haven't heard how this year has been for their coaching.

#educoach A2: With so many quarantines, everything we have done in the classroom this year had to be something kids at home could access. Video and well-planned lessons were crucial, so at-homers didn't fall behind.

#educoach A3: Though not an IC, I suspect the versatility and scrambling you had to do sharpened your skills. It has likely done that for your Ts, too.

#educoach A4: Some say Ss lost out on their education this year. This yr's experiences is more life education than kids ever would have had on a normal year. Kids adapt, Ts adapt, ICs adapt...and everyone learns from it, even if the can't balance equations as well.

#educoach A5: Our district is making more of a commitment to employing ICs next year. That in itself is a good step, and our Ss quality of education will surely reap the benefits.

#flipclasschat Roy from Bama, mostly lurking tonight as I finish up some schoolwork. Teaching physical science and American Literature in Rome, Ga, having flipped for maybe 7 or 8 years.

#flipclasschat A1: We're about two weeks in to the semester. I don't think we're anywhere near going virtual, but it's something you have to keep in the back of your mind. One can't dwell too much on what's out of your control.

#flipclasschat A2: If the lesson is a springboard for content understanding, it seems successful. A flipped misconception is that the video is the learning. The concept isn't that shallow. The video usually kicks off the learning.
