Coaching Conversation Debrief by Dale Van Keuren https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65 Share something about your experience. Try to be specific (what went went well...because? What was challenging...because? What might you do differently next time...because?) Each person completes one post. en-us 2018-11-15 17:29:42 UTC 2025-11-15 01:59:14 UTC hello@padlet.com Coaching https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306773540 I feel having a smaller group/triad allowed for more honest conversations.]]> 2018-11-21 15:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306773540 Sticking to the script allowed me to not insert myself into the conversation, and just let the teacher I was coaching vent their spleen. Also, doing this with co-workers I trust allowed for honest conversation https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306773603 2018-11-21 15:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306773603 Coaching sadams14 https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306773767 Using the script helped to keep the focus on one person; however, the script also did not allow for more specific conversations and other questions to be asked.
It was difficult to not make comments or ask other questions.
Next time, we would allow for some off script/clarification questions following the scripted questions.]]> 2018-11-21 15:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306773767 Coaching https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306773890 I felt that having a small group allowed for honest and open conversation. I thought this was a good prodacole to use if someone truly has an issue that they need to talk about/discuss.]]> 2018-11-21 15:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306773890 Coaching bbross https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306774028 We opened up with one another, shared our struggles etc but we all felt that it was difficult because we do not know one another well enough to share these intimate things with one another and our comfort levels are not strong enough yet.   I appreciated the script so we did not get off topic and everyone had a fair chance to speak.

I would like to perhaps do this with a person(s) that I am more comfortable opening up to. Additionally, I would like some answers, support, guidance for the issues we all raised and that was not built in to this script.]]> 2018-11-21 15:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306774028 Triad Coaching mhurlbut1 https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306774895 Our group contained two members who have gone through the coaching cycle as department chairs and therefore had an advantage with this process. We followed the script and discovered that our three educators had solid listening skills and we established a comfort level with non - judgmental conversations and questioning. It is always refreshing to have conversations with other professionals and explore how things operate in other classrooms and curricular areas. ]]> 2018-11-21 15:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306774895 It was challenging to share challenges with people whom I do not have a relationship. It would have worked better with our G21 team members. https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306775231 2018-11-21 15:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306775231 We were able to help at least one member with a real solution to a problem after working with the coaching questions although we felt comfortable with each other enough to go off script when we could not find a solution the first time through. https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306776117 2018-11-21 15:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306776117 Coaching https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306776318 The small group setting allowed us to have a frank and open conversation.  It was interesting to see how common our frustrations and struggles are, regardless of content, experience, etc.

Observing first made me feel more comfortable sharing, as I did not know my group members well. Next time, I would feel more comfortable with the process and would like to add time for clarifications to make it more conversational. ]]> 2018-11-21 15:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306776348 Triad Coaching mrsharlan https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306777080 We focused on asking each other what their struggles and concerns were for students, ourselves, and our environment. We shared short-comings, relationships with students, how we have evolved from our first year until now, and what we need in our lives professionally and personally. ]]> 2018-11-21 15:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306777080 Coaching 3 Way https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306777497 I liked having the script so we could stay on task and hear each other. we all like to talk as teachers and share our thoughts]]> 2018-11-21 15:51:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306777497 Triad Conversation https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306777514 Because we have many students in common, we all shared similar challenges in regard to student behavior and self-regulation. We were able to speak openly and without fear of judgement. The conversation allowed us to share strategies that we have tried to support and connect with students, but they have not always been successful. Our conversation ended with more questions than answers. ]]> 2018-11-21 15:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306777514 Coaching https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306777527 What went well is that I actually figured out what I want to work on and I enjoyed the group I worked with. We all felt similar and it was nice to focus not just on the negatives but also the positives. I liked using the script because it really helped us to stay on task and got us each to recognize what we really feel is our main issue and how we might work on it.]]> 2018-11-21 15:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306777527 Triad Coaching https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306777592 The small group situation allowed for some great discussions about challenges that we are facing as well as discussing some items that work well too. ]]> 2018-11-21 15:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306777592 Coaching Triad wmatheson https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306777884 Having someone to take notes while the discussion progresses is useful. I didn't have to worry about what was discussed and remembering issues and feedback. I appreciated being able to debrief with those notes.

We discussed topics like managing behavior, grading and improving relationships with our department.]]> 2018-11-21 15:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306778330 Coaching https://padlet.com/dvankeuren/rcrl1mlrzu65/wish/306778976 I enjoyed the small group setting.

I thought that there were a few too many "anything else" statements, but other than that it was quite effective. We have a lot of the same concerns across very different content areas.

My colleagues helped me come to some conclusions through the questioning and made me feel like I wasn't going crazy and my feeling are legit.
