I used this at the beginning of the year to let teachers know how I can be supportive to them :)

Our staff is really on top of looking at their data. I find that by the time we meet to look at the data our teams have already run the reports themselves. In what other ways might I support them?

I created appointment time slots in Google Calendar for the 3 asynchronous days next week. This saves the time of trying to coordinate schedules, teachers can see when I am available and sign up to meet.

I've been working with data a long time (as an IDL, School City Champion, and now as Coach). It is easy to forget how confusing data analysis can be for novices. There is so much data and you can take it in so many directions. This realization helped me stop the glazed "deer in headlights" look from my teachers. When I decided to show data visually with graphic organizers, teachers started to feel less intimidated and more confident. I have them starting with standards analysis, then move deeper into the data, one layer at a time.

I wonder how to best support teachers during this transition period

I have a choice board with a direct link to google forms. It let me know when someone reaches out for specific needs

I have started 2 coaching cycles and 1 more starting next week. I am learning so much from each one.

I have created a website and I send out a weekly WICOR strategy that we are starting to see teachers use in our WICOR walks. But there is a huge benefit to reaching out to teachers individually.

I need to make more individual contact with teachers to offer support. A group email, I think gets lost in all the info teachers are receiving. Teachers appreciate the information, I just think they are overwhelmed and are resorting to what they know because they don't have the bandwith to process different instructional practices.

I have a Google Spreadsheet with a tab for each teacher I am working with. Each tab has basic info on the teacher (grade-level, subject area, years in service, degrees, Certs/endorsements, and focus for improvement, etc.), then the spreadsheet tracks when we met, objectives/ goals, observations, PDs, data reviews, action items, check-ins, etc. I just take my laptop when I meet with teachers and I have a full history or road map of what we have done together. My principal can just check the spreadsheet in between our meetings OR use it as a full reference tool during our meetings.

I collaborated on created an updated collaborative form that really encourages teachers to review data (which I placed in each of their Shared Drives) to drive their PLC goals.

Really diving into the Mimic with ELA and Math departments to have a good starting point for the school year. Also using last years data to make some comparisons.

I have one cycle that has started with a writing standard. We are working on the assessment and establishing learning targets. It is exciting to co-plan and (fingers crossed) see students improve.

# data[].attributes.body
I was able to schedule a time with my 3-6 grade PLC groups to go over MIMIC results. It was a great time to really dive into their MIMICs and help them really understand how to look at different parts of School City.

Shoutout to Jen Hudson for this brilliant idea! For mentoring it's been wonderful to have a chunk of time with an open room that people can pop in to share, ask, or just interact with an adult!

I have really established good relationships and have begun the conversations to enter into a coaching cycle, but the teachers are overwhelmed right now and so I am on pause for now...

Teachers are starting to really see the benefit of having a support system

I feel like the next few days leading up to in person learning is our opportunity to re-establish relationships. I am offering up my time to help teachers set up their classrooms or get prepared for the students arrival.

I am almost completed with one cycle and have 3 under way. All are very different and I am learning a ton!

In the year of 2020 we have started to realize that coaching will be a marathon and not a sprint. Building trust and relationships is most important this year to ensure successful coaching happens!

# data[].attributes.body
I've created different calendars to organize my time and block out time.  Each calendar has its own color.  Calendars: coaching, to do, NCHS calendar/mtgs., personal.

Teachers are finally starting to feel comfortable talking about what's going on (what's going well and what's not) and seeking advice or guidance when things go awry. It's like starting the school year with brand new colleagues and they are starting to realize I am on their side as a support, which is really wonderful.
