Co-Planning Critical Stepscs-coaching-knowledge-base.md

Decide Ahead

Front: Teachers have different comfort levels with having other adults with them while they teach. Determining a plan and setting expectations ahead of time helps to ensure a positive coaching relationship.

Back: During co-planning, review co-teaching options of presenting instruction together, modeling instruction, quiet observation, and other coaching postures. Is the teacher comfortable with you interacting with students during worktime? Would they prefer you provide some real time feedback (see Bug in Ear) or hold all input for reflection time? Reassure teachers that a coach's role is to support their work and not to officially evaluate them.
