Coach's Observations (5-10 minutes)

Coach's Observations (5-10 minutes)

Frame feedback objectively:

  • Describe specific moments without judgment
  • "At 9:15, I noticed that when you asked the question about loops, three students raised their hands, but the table by the window seemed confused."

Ask before telling:

  • "Can I share what I noticed about that moment?"
  • "I'm curious about your perspective on..."

Use "The Teacher's Perspective":

  • Before stating what you saw, ask how they experienced it
  • "I noticed you spent most of your time with the front groups. What was happening for you?"
