178. Coaching Observations: What Do You Look For?

So, you made it through the door. Now what? In this episode, we’re talking about coaching observations and what to look for while you’re in classrooms! You’ll hear why it’s helpful to focus on one specific student-centered goal during classroom visits. I break down the three main categories to look for during teacher observations: classroom management, student engagement, and instruction. I also explain what data I record during classroom observations and how I track what I see to ensure a productive post-observation conversation. You'll get practical tips and ideas to guide you when you’re observing teachers during coaching cycles. Listen now to learn all about coaching observations and what to look for in classrooms.
