Teacher Voice & Choice

Front: The coach acts as a guide, honoring a teacher's expertise, experience, and practice. The teacher being coached will ultimately make their own decisions about planning and implementing CS in their classroom.

Back: Honor the teacher's expertise regarding their own students, the curriculum, and the class culture. Combine your experiences and resources with the teacher's expertise and autonomy. Rather than imposing instructional decisions, and acting as the knower of all, help the teacher make their own instructional decisions.

Reflection Questions:

How might I act as a guide to support autonomous teacher growth?
How might I respect and honor the teacher's decision making for their own class?
