Using an Effective Coaching Formula to Improve Teacher Practice
Coaching is a practice used to support teachers in implementing evidence-based methods in the classroom. Although evidence shows that coaching can improve teacher skills, coaching remains a practice that varies widely in its implementation (Joyce & Showers, 2002). Both peer and instructional coaches can benefit from understanding and applying principles of effective coaching. This presentation will introduce participants to the Effective Coaching Formula from the Match Teacher Residency program. Participants will learn how having “Clarity of Instructional Vision” along with “Quality Feedback” and negating the “Four Horsemen of the Fixed Mindset Tax” can very quickly increase the efficiency of coaching cycles and increase teacher skill in the classroom. Participants will discuss and apply formula components in several coaching scenarios with fellow participants. An exemplar coaching form will be provided as a resource.
- Given partners, participants will verbally describe the four critical components of the formula's “Clarity of Instructional Vision” with 100% accuracy.
- Given partners, participants will take turns delivering "quality feedback" in the form of “precise positives” to each other with 100% accuracy as measured by a peer assessment.
- Given a handout with 4 fixed mindset comments and a partner role-play, participants will verbally identify and respond to each of the formula's “Four Horsemen” with 100% accuracy as measured by a role-play rubric.
