We had a good day thanks
I believe that coaching can give new insights and develop new ways for teachers to think. It's good to have a little structure around the questions and structures that we can use when we coach
Smart goals specific measurable et cetera
What gave me the most was to start thinking along these lines
I've learned about the different models and I know that I'm going to use these models and tools in the continued work I think the exercises, and the insight on how important it is to have the alignment conversation before we start working, gave the most
I have a greater knowledge of how to give feedback to my colleagues and how to give support and help by asking open questions
Being open as observer
I learned several new concepts and abbreviations that I've never heard of before, this will be of great help when I continue my education as a teacher.
Different kinds of models that can be used to guide the conversation
The group activity in threes this afternoon gave the most
These structures in the conversation
The first discussion where we should plan the next lesson observation gave the most
Good to have tips about the different stages in the conversation and tips about what to think about both as an observer, and the teacher who is receiving feedback
Useful to test this in groups of three, in this way we learn the tools and learn about each other. I feel better prepared for this task
The dogs!
The tools for the conversations
The dogs (not letting them take over)
To have the right focus i.e. not on me
An interesting and rewarding day I am inspired to get started together with some colleagues
I think that the coaching conversations can lead to further good conversations about teaching and learning at the school
The best part was your attitude and that you focused on the importance of having trust and showing respect for the person you are observing and coaching
That you get somewhere in the conversation
The best part was the coaching exercises, especially in threes
Practical tips
Structures for coaching
The kinds of questions
How to coach in general
The best part was to see the teachers on stage
How to work with observation and feedback
There was a good connection between theory and practical exercises
I have greater awareness of what coaching means and the difficulty in asking the right questions and not judging or valuing.
How important it is to know what the goal is not to give up without asking follow-up questions
The best part of your experience and the two demonstrations
I have learned the conversation models AFORM and GROW and hope they will help me in the future For me the best part was coaching and being coached by my colleagues
A reminder to listen and ask questions from what I hear, not what I think is relevant
The best part was when you demonstrated coaching with volunteer teachers in front of the group
The importance of active listening
Keeping the dogs away - don't have to give advice
The importance of asking powerful questions
The best was insights on all the above, the film about the nail and having tested asking questions and thought about self assessment
How difficult it is just put words to what it is you want to have observed
The best was the questions for the coaching conversation and your experiences
The importance of active listening without getting involved in what the teacher says and then the reflections that come from it
That it is important to be in agreement on what specifically shall be observed
For me the best was the exercise with three roles.
