My candidate in this quadrant is probably overwhelmed and needs some confidence building. Use what, why, and how?

# data[].attributes.body
"When working with Quadrant II teachers, the mentor’s goal is to increase awareness, provide tools for monitoring effectiveness, and motivate objective self-assessment." I would ask the candidate to provide evidence and data to support their thoughts.

# data[].attributes.body
Plan stratetegies for self assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
Ask questions of the candidate that forces them to think about their purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
I would practice listening to my candidate and encourage reflection. The goal being to decrease dependency and encourage empowerment.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though the candidate might think they are doing everything right I would encourage the candidate to reflect on the lessons delivered and encourage them to be open to trying new strategies. All the while reviewing data to support their strategy choices and lesson development.

# data[].attributes.body
At this point I think the candidate is looking for praise, support, and encouragement. I would guide the candidate to be reflective of what they are doing in the classroom. As they come to see that their strategies are having a positive impact on students this can be more empowering than me offering praise.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though the candidate is being reflective at this point I would encourage them to dig deeper than just the surface. Reviewing their purpose, goals, and objectives for each lesson to make sure everything aligns.

# data[].attributes.body
My candidate is not always confident when dealing with parent enquiries.(Sometimes our parents can be quite difficult and intimidating). I would encourage her to be certain of her evidence for what she wants to say, to be assertive without being aggressive and to be calm, professional and open at all times assuring parents that their student's welfare and progress is of uppermost importance.

# data[].attributes.body
Generally my candidate is rarely if ever in this quadrant. Occasionally she has seemed keen to not talk about an issue by suggesting all is well and so I need to be aware of the "brush off" and to ask a little more deeply around the question in order to find out what is really going on. This is more qualitative than quantitative.

# data[].attributes.body
When we have been discussing her students' abilities at working in groups I have suggested to her that she uses some of the techniques that I use with her! In other words, use open ended questions so students can fill in their own blanks, encourage reflection about self-learning, and comment back about the effectiveness of the exercise just undertaken.

# data[].attributes.body
My candidate is here more often than not and so I try to: reinforce her progress and positivity, continue to question her understanding of and depth of immersion in the standards and encourage her to share her personal reflections on her progress with me so we can strategize her continued forward progress.

I would validate the good teaching practices she has been doing. I'd ask her to share a success story so she continues to build confidence. Right now success is getting lesson plans out and "google meeting" with students. We need to celebrate the successes with our candidate.

At this stage, I would focus on asking  questions that require thought, not description

# data[].attributes.body
The new teacher that falls into Quadrant 1 lacks confidence and skill. I'd ask probing questions to get a clearer picture of why she feels this way. The mentor's role at this point is to scaffold choice-making. Do not just tell them what to do and how to do it. Offer ideas and listen to theirs. Allow the candidate to make the decision and experiment.

# data[].attributes.body
This teacher may be over confident. I would praise them for their success and I would inquire for details. I might ask, "What do you think was your most successful lesson this week?" Then probe for details about the lessons and what made her feel it was the best. Is there data?

# data[].attributes.body
The teacher in this quadrant is competent but not confident. I would want to make sure I support this person. I'd ask them about their lessons and let them give details and examples. I would make very specific comments pointing out their strengths and successes.

# data[].attributes.body
This teacher reflects upon her progress. I would review collected data from lessons with them and ask them how they felt about the lesson and its effectiveness.

A candidate in this quadrant would have more confidence than skill.  They may tend to deflect my help and feel that everything is going well so they lack reflection and self-assessment.  I would introduce data analysis tools, progress monitoring tools, and ask for specific details and examples about their lessons.  I would make sure to highlight their successes and positive data trends while providing consulting on negative data trends.

# data[].attributes.body
While this competent, yet not confident candidate may be seeking my validation, I would encourage establishing a success criteria for themselves and their students. This will allow both to acknowledge and internalize effectiveness. I would also share a struggle with my candidate and ask them to brainstorm ideas for a future assignment.

# data[].attributes.body
Candidates in this quadrant need to go deeper in their thinking. Discussions that focus on purposes, criteria, and data sources, and actions will facilitate deeper thought.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use non-judgmental questions and request literal data because my candidate is very data driven, and appreciates straightforward facts. I think this would be a helpful way to coach him into looking deeper at his practices.

# data[].attributes.body
I would ask the candidate questions that help them connect the teaching strategies they selected with their reason for choosing them. I would also work with them to develop criteria for selecting additional instructional strategies moving forward.

# data[].attributes.body
I would share with this candidate some of the observational data collected and then compare that with an objective teaching standard or criteria/ expectation. I might also ask the candidate to supply specific examples from her practice of how she is meeting the criteria we are focusing on.

I would ask questions that require her to think about her next steps would look like (descriptive).

# data[].attributes.body
I would pose questions related to focusing on strategies as a way to help guide her to develop successful outcomes to her lessons, by identifying strengths/weaknesses of her students.

# data[].attributes.body
I would try to develop a positive rapport when discussing lessons or completing observations. Point out areas that showed her strengths and then pose questions related to what improvements she feels she could incorporate/alter next time, to increase her best practice even more. Offering positive feedback to instill trust and provide her with the ability to begin to assess and self-reflect.

# data[].attributes.body
Encourage her to expand on what she already know well by praising her solid/effective lessons to now include new strategies/new modalities to increase student learning and assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
My current candidate definitely falls into this category. She is confident on level that is proven through the effect ways she has developed the student learning environment and her student's individual progress. At this point, I would ask her to continue to maintain her level of self-assessment/reflection to determine what next steps she needs to use, whether it falls under assessments/lessons/behavioral management.

# data[].attributes.body
Consulting stance with KISS (Keep It Simple Silly) attitude. Candidates will strengthen their confidence when they realize they already know what to do. We just have to help guide them to that realization with the what, why, how questions.

# data[].attributes.body
I would definitely use three-point communication with the candidate. This strategy not only takes the pressure off the candidate but provides the example/evidence of is really going on.

# data[].attributes.body
What struck me most about this candidate is the implied question in the text "how do I know I'm being effective?" Data doesn't lie, I would collaborate with my candidate to see what we can glean from that data. Maybe we need to come up with a different metric to show the candidate's effectiveness?

# data[].attributes.body
*High 5* I would praise my candidate and then have them show/explain there reflective process. I would ask questions to help them delve deeper, and in the process, hopefully pick up a trick of my own.

# data[].attributes.body
My candidate is in quadrant 4 because he is always making observations about his students' learning and attempting to solve roadblocks to learning in a variety of ways. He is not always sure how to make some of the changes he envisions or doesn't get to the underlying issue. He is, however, open to sharing and with the right questions most often draws his own conclusions. I often ask him, what is the purpose of that assignment? What is your intended outcome? What might be alternatives if you did want to change ____?

# data[].attributes.body
I would first try to provide my candidate with a safe space. I would then provide my candidate with some resources and options, explaining the pros and cons of each. Then I would try to talk through the best option with my candidate and make sure to ask guiding questions, and being mindful of when to offer advice.

# data[].attributes.body
I would continue to encourage my candidate and provide a safe space. I would ask my candidate for details and examples as well as their rationale for what they are doing. I would hope through learning-focused conversations it would show my candidates areas of strength and areas of improvement.

I would continue to praise my candidate and try to build her confidence. I would try to do so by having her collaborate with me and asking for her input rather than being the one to ask guiding questions or offering advice.

I would promote deeper thinking by asking questions that require more thought and rationale. I would encourage continued reflection and having more learning-focused conversations.

# data[].attributes.body
This would signal to me my candidate has low self-esteem in whatever topic is being discussed. I would remind my candidate that being brave and making mistakes is part of life and that it's okay if they try something out and fail. They are learning! I would also encourage what, when, how questions so they can reflect on why they made specific choices.

# data[].attributes.body
If my candidate were in this quadrant, I would explore learning standards with them and use those exact standards when observing them in lessons. I would say "When you were doing _________, you were following standard ___ in that you were ____________." I would also question their lesson design.

# data[].attributes.body
If my candidate was in thie quadrant, it would be clear they would are insecure about their effectiveness in the classroom. I can relate to staying in my comfort zone because I used to do this and honestly sometimes still do, but this is one area my candidate needs a push in. It's okay to be uncertain of outcomes. That's how we all learn!
