Hi! Kristi from Texas! Excited to join tonight!
Sarah--making it to 2nd round interview for an intermediate math coach, excited to learn from all of you :)
Tonight’s Topic is: Getting started with a new school year for coaching. Let’s get the discussion started!
That book really launched me in a new direction. Got me more focused on education & helping to make real change.
one of my goals this year is blogging for the purpose of reflection.
Q1 Summer is a time to rejuvenate and plan for the future. What are key goals you have in store for the coming school year?
I can barely do every week! Do you have a schedule/method for coming up with ideas?
I keep hearing the Jeopardy theme song in the back of my head - it's getting louder.
Yes! So lucky to attend a training last spring; finally getting around to reading the book:)
A1: One is to build my coaching biz client roster, while continuing to do good work with students @ my college.
A1: top is to diversify my coaching. Utilize my coaching menu for short term work with Ts as well as cycles
I consider it like brushing my teeth. It's non-negotiable. Wouldn't leave the house without doing it.
That's awesome. I'm thinking of video blog, b/c I know I won't make myself sit to write, but I might do 1 min vid
A1: Goals: continue building relationships w/ teachers & work harder at being a listener
A1: I am hoping to come up with a focus. Last year, I was all over the place- every subject K-5...
I am really excited to get started this fall and have highlighted SO many things in the book!!
A1 Focus on the kids, listen to one another, support in classrooms, celebrate the awesomeness first. https://t.co/ikfqKmdisG
Q1 Summer is a time to rejuvenate and plan for the future. What are key goals you have in store for the coming school year?

I consider it like brushing my teeth. It's non-negotiable. Wouldn't leave the house without doing it.
A video blog sounds great.

A1: to make sure Ts have time and resources to pursue learning passions
A1: I plan on increasing my communication with parents and working more with PD.
A1: Definitely building relationships; this is the first year for coaches in our district.
A1: after 8 yrs I'm headed back in2 classrm as gr. 1 T! My goal's 2 still be part of an instructional support system 4 colleagues
My 2 goals this year are to make better online PD program for both Ts & Ss, & learn more about Inquiry Based Learning
yes. I want to start every meeting with celebrations and be cognizant of my own too.
A1-2: I also want to start up a regular podcast and get some online courses together for my biz.
What elements are you considering for your online PD?
Q2: So many great goals mentioned! What approaches do you use in your planning to set your goals into motion?
A1: Strategic use of my time- considering more team cycles, use of digital coaching tools etc.
We implemented last year, so I'm using that as platform & element. Others will be school goals
Love it John! Thanks for sharing. Hope all is well with you!
I just got the Passion Planner; also working on outreach to other professionals working w/same population for referrals
Michele. Academic Coach from NC. MY was participating in a productive School Improvement Team meeting.
+1 my fave online learning platform!
Hi all, joining a little late, Curriculum Facilitator in High Point, NC
A2 I write them down, share with staff, & post them on my wall. Make it a checklist and not a to do list. https://t.co/1svbXACYbW
Q2: So many great goals mentioned! What approaches do you use in your planning to set your goals into motion?
A2: I'm going to write an action plan with monthly short term goals. I'm also meeting with Ts I will do cycles with soon
Most likely going to be focused on building better assessments and learning to interpret data.
A2-2: Also make sure I share my goals w/loved ones who will keep me accountable
"What is next" is a productive lens and pushes the conversation into constructive solutions
Keeping goals visible in my workspace helps me stay focused & motivated
I've been working with a Bullet Journal, but am modifying it more for the coming year.
I love my ! It's with me wherever I go!
A2: Still working on that 😏 Currently I think colored post-its placed about is my go to...not super efficient.
What are some digital coaching tools that you utilize?
A2: Planning 1:1 meetings with Ts to get those relationships started... Any suggestions for those meetings??
loved using Schoology! My last district had it 🙌🏻
I need to look at the Passion Planner more. :)
It's my new favorite saying. It's going on my desk and on my computer.
Mine just arrived today but have seen my husband using his & it looks great!
Didn't see Q1.....little help?
A1: Relationships and building authentic trust is first and foremost...just like with our Ss
A2: I am going to use to track progress of my goals and Ts goals. Ts use with Ss and I will use with Ts.
Listen more than you talk. Make sure to set up a follow up meeting.
Did something similar last year w my 5th grade Ss... got some great info the 1st day!
Hubby uses post-its to plan his appointments - if they change, he just lifts & moves the post-it!
I got beautiful stickers and am ready to go! Love the quotes and weekly/daily focus.
A2: I write them down on and stick them to my desk as a constant reminder to keep moving forward. https://t.co/eph9J7D3lb
A2: having intentional and productive meetings to truly communicate is the goal!
A2. Personal planning. Prioritizing my coaching obligations so Ts and Ss come first.
I have an Erin Condren - I adore it:)
I write in pencil now because appts change so often. color codes what brought her joy.
Q1 was What are key goals you have in store for the coming school year?
A2: Running off motivational posters to T when I meet them. Hope to listen & find strengths. Take pic w. each. Maybe post online.
I'd never use pen on a planner!
Q1 Summer is time 2 rejuvenate & plan for the future. What R key goals U have in store for the coming school year?
A2: I have a terrible voice. Makes babies cry. But I'm unafraid to sing it loud. Tell someone your goals and be held accountable.
A2: Enjoy approaching goal setting with the WOOP method- Wish Obstacle Outcome Plan. It is an app too! Puts things into motion
I'm hoping to try out using Adobe classroom this yr. & FT. I also am looking for a platform to host timely discussions
I find accountability is one of the most important things with goal-setting. You?
Q3: What are ways of building relationships with teachers at the start of the year to lead into powerful coaching opportunities?
I guess I need to add to my to do list...
Love this! https://t.co/9UZPflnONP
A2: Enjoy approaching goal setting with the WOOP method- Wish Obstacle Outcome Plan. It is an app too! Puts things into motion
A3 Food. Definitely food. And conversation about the summer.
I rejuvenate by reinventing myself. Goal = become better version of myself each day. My key goals, will be in next tweet.
A3: I don't usually interact w/teachers directly so it depends on the student - if college, can't do it. If hs, need permissions.
I was coaching my favorite baseball team, now joining late for instructional coaching!
A3: hold each other accountable, but still be a support group with words of encouragement.
A3: With new Ts, I offer co-teaching the first couple of weeks. Then co-creating a podcast to share w/ rest of team with tips.
Scarlet, Texas, Principal Gr4-5. My this week is this is my 1st chat. Goals - to intro T to Twitter for P.D.
A3: Having authentic conversations with Ts. Be genuine and also find positives to celebrate
A1: Key goals: Build PLN, turn more frowns upside down. Provide more value daily. Change the narrative.
A3: When I was site-based I gave each T 30 minutes of time in the Fall. I took their class & it helped build relation. w/kids & Ts
Would be interesting to explore the similarities/differences in coaching in these contexts :)
Have you played with Post-It App? Great for keeping those notes for later.
A3: To be there as a support; start with surface coaching
I have but there's just something about a paper planner that speaks to me
A3: engaging w Ts in school-based projects/initiatives, sharing my goals 4 myself 4 the yr, offering 2 do some duties @ beg of yr
Oh no - another app to look at. :) I love apps!
Basket of chocolate (ha!). T workdays=make myself available for anything. Helping put up bulletin boards can lead to good convos!
Oh my!! I love it:) Thanks for sharing!!
Agreed. I just use it to store them - I'm always nervous about losing paper
A3: we have to approach relationships with Ts as Ts do with Ss. Showing genuine interest in them, communicating, and by valuing
Food goes a long way. I bet the extra help in the beginning of the year is appreciated.
Absolutely. I'm still deeply grateful to the coach who helped me w/bulletin boards my first year teaching!
A3: Starting with an edcamp style PD- gets Ts talking, sharing and collaborating. Utilizing in house T experts!
Q4: What tools do you for keeping track of your to-do list, personal goals, daily work, planning, etc.?
Tech Mex Tuesday (tech focus), hot chocolate bar in winter, anything where they feel appreciated. They stop by and chat!
A3 Face to face, one on one conversations. Celebrate what's going well. Have them set a goal to work on. https://t.co/G0xW24GGz0
Q3: What are ways of building relationships with teachers at the start of the year to lead into powerful coaching opportunities?
A3: Be available/authentic/positive. Have game face on moment you enter building every day. We have the best job ever, show it.
A3: I use appointment calendar in Google Calendar so Ts can get 1-on-1 time when they need/want it.
A4: Online reminder system, physical planner, and online calendar system that interfaces with Google Calendar.
Your school has an inviting feel!
A3B: Walk your talk. Leaders must be reflect whatever they suggest.
Never heard of that! Fun! I like the idea of identifying the obstacle. It's not negative, it's trouble-shooting.
A3 cont: I kept my "teaching space" inviting. Supplies, candy, hosted the water cooler, etc. inviting space lead to more inter.s
A4: Google Cal with lots of reminders, white board, organizing my emails to: archive, follow up and future reference.
A4: I couldn't survive without Evernote! I also use the app Simple Goals.
A4: I like to use Google Calendar to schedule and keep up with my daily plans, work, and schedule.
A3: Also told Ts this summer I would meet by request - no predetermined topics. They picked topic & place.
A4: Google Keep is a wonderful collaborative goal setting tool.
A3 Share past success stories, goals others have tackled, set out your stall - be clear about your role.
I hope so! I was lucky I had a full-sized classroom that I could use as a T resource room. Have to share next year!
Yes, I would have to agree. Clearly understanding purpose probably bats leadoff but accountability hits cleanup.
A4 I still use paper & pencil. It's important to be able to change things and it's also much more visible. https://t.co/78cxeXDOVP
Q4: What tools do you for keeping track of your to-do list, personal goals, daily work, planning, etc.?
Q5: What advice would you give a new coach as they start their first year?
online reminders I seem to just sweep without reading the reminder 😏 Which ones work best for you?
A4: Google Docs, Google Calendar, a sticky note list on desk/computer
+1 paper I tried to go paperless, didn't work for my style, lost focus and missed priorities
A5: Put in the time to build relationships or you'll make your job much harder
tell me more about simple goals! (Jumping in late but I'm here!)
I use Todoist and Alarmed for iOS; also Google Calendar reminders
I use google calendar and spreadsheets, but I still love the pen and paper of my weekly planner!
That'll be great on a desk! It'll refocus me on the to-do list and motivate forward thinking in those tough moments
A1&A2is to get good at this Twitter and learn from all of you during these chats and share if I have something good!
A5: Build relationships w/ teachers. Without trust and respect, coaches may have lots of knowledge, but Ts won’t buy in.
A5: I could actually use seeing these answers as this IS my first year!
my largest body of work resides there. Hoping to move elsewhere but my Twitter chat addiction has slowed process.
A4 Planner, Google Calendar, binder, reminders on a whiteboard. The ? is how to keep up with it all!
A3 New coaches need to build rapport & trust - in them as coach AND in the coaching process
A4: Erin Condren planner... I HAVE to see it in front of me and color coded:)
A5 Be humble. Listen before you speak. Understand why Ts make their decisions before critiquing
A4: desktop post-it's, to do lists as a scheduled event in my calendar & cute printable ones butterfly clipped to things
A5 Before you can make an impact, you need to have made a relationship. https://t.co/IOmQLrAfsG
Q5: What advice would you give a new coach as they start their first year?
LOVE this question - looking forward to any/all advice!
That's what strong leaders do. I don't even need to ask if you are ready. Watching you grow is AWESOME!
Exactly, it is planning ahead & being prepared for the challenges that may occur. App Link: https://t.co/kDsWvsCcmA
A4: I keep a doc on desktop & take 10 mins @ end of day to record what I did. I color code 2 delineate 1:1, school, district work
Some of us are only coaching students, not teachers - anyone else here like that?
This is essential! Remember why we do what we do...that should make us smile without thinking! https://t.co/tmHhLQ5tKP
A3: Be available/authentic/positive. Have game face on moment you enter building every day. We have the best job ever, show it.
Calendar is where everything goes, Whiteboard is where most important reminders go. I lose binders & planners.
A5: Make relationship building a main priority. Without trusting relationships, you won't be able to make meaningful impact.
A3 Before anything else - be curious, ask questions AND LISTEN - then look for 'coachable moments' & invite partnership
A5: build relationships and make connections. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
The first weeks are slow for coaches. I had a sign-up for Ts to have me come in and read to their class. Great feedback.
A5: Offer simple help in the beginning- BBs up, cutting out stuff, things you can do and be present with them to get to know Ts
No I haven't, but I will add it to my book list.. which continues growing by the day:)
Q4. Google Calendar. I USE it for everything! I am also enjoying Google Classroom as a means to flip PD &faculty mtgs
awesome! Will have to check it out, thanks!
Love the "Big 3" Love my job. Everyday I get to work with great teachers while growing & learning with them.
great! I'll check out the app you've mentioned :) Thx 🙌🏻
A4: It is no longer a mistake when you learn from it. Take risks but be sure to take time to reflect!
they're just all zero right now bc it's summer!
A4 I have a whiteboard across the room for must remember kinda stuff. Post-its in front of keyboard.
Available and Authentic. Two deal breakers when working with Ts. https://t.co/FXOV4H1vBg
A3: Be available/authentic/positive. Have game face on moment you enter building every day. We have the best job ever, show it.
Q4: Whatever involves making kids better/safer comes first. Goal = avoid touching things twice. I keep a calendar. No to-do-list.
A5. Relationships! Letting folks know you are not the "expert" but will do everything you can to find resources, etc.
Yes. The getting to know you and what you're about phase takes time. Need to build trust & overcome suspicion
A5 Never make snap judgements. Get to know your staff, understand their philosophies, and learn together
I need to invest in chocolates and mints this year.
A5: Listen to *really* hear, not just listening in order to figure out how you will answer.
Watch the sales after holidays!
So important to use Classroom or LMS to model for Ts. Sends strong message.
Q6: How do you support new teachers in your school/district?
A5 cont: Learn your leader's hopes for your work. Define roles & reflect & redefine as the year goes on and you get into the work
A5 like Aaron Burr says in Hamilton the musical, "Talk less, smile more."
A5: The best ability for a coach is AVAIL-ability. Be ready to rock. Walk your talk. Be enthusiastic.
A5 Coach Bob Knight used to always say people all can hear, but are they really listening? Make sure you're listening.
sorry I'm not tweeting q's....can't get the doc to open on my iPad for some reason
I always gather up my kids leftovers 😳
A3: Communicate and connect on a more personal level, offer strategies and advice when applicable.
A5: It is no longer a mistake when you learn from it. Take risks but be sure to take time to reflect!
We are required to keep coaching logs and I use it as a kind of pulse check as to where I am spending my time.
A6: Graduated release - I do, we do, you do. . lots of demos, lots of self reflecting, LOTS of laughs when my demo goes awry!
A6 Unfortunately, usu w extra meetings and classes. Would prefer to see more embedded classroom supports for new Ts
A5: Now, I want to be a full-time coach. Sounds like an amazing opportunity. Put me in, Coach!
That was tough for me, because I wanted to identify and empathize with Ts. Have to listen and stay positive.
No problem. Dog is coaching me to take him out. :) I'll be right back.
It's fun but can be very tiring sometimes
Yes!!! I use it to collect lesson plans. It has made my life so much easier!!
A6: The golden Q Just discussing how much more we need to give new Ts. Need to co-teach & get them out to observe more as well.
I love this! Thanks for the idea.
A6 We provide a mentor, but we need to do so much more. Must bring them into our family. https://t.co/fw6lLHLwh7
Q6: How do you support new teachers in your school/district?
I think I've written a blog post on that before!
A6: Share past successes and experiences in the classroom!
As a Dean of Behavioral Mgt for HS students, I'm familiar with the feeling.
A6: Getting them plugged into a phenomenal mentor and active in PLCs. Listening and growing them to solve problems!
A6: I serve as a mentor each year, walkthroughs, take needs from classrooms for materials, new teacher meetings, cycles.
A6: I've created "how to's" in the past for critical systems: email, RTI/MTSS portals, grade book etc. & Make time to be with them
tell more about how you do that.
What is your coaching log? Sounds like a gd way to keep track of your time...
Q7: With so much going on at the start of the year (i.e.room prep, in-service...) how do you keep a focus on St learning goals?
Are you doing it in a spreadsheet? GForm? Would be great way to check through filters & graphs
A6: Giving them a voice and platform to share (school hashtag is useful). Many times they have the innovative ideas to share!
A6 cont: I always carved out chunks of time throughout the critical points of the year to support them through the "firsts"
Do you think it would be applicable for math coaches as well?
How often are we encouraged to share those failures/mistakes. Share reflection of how we overcame too.
A6. Love the "how to's" list!
It's important to provide opportunities for them to share with their teams, value and protect common planning time.
Such great suggestions! There is so much potential in strong PLCs as a means of support to new teachers! https://t.co/yldlVcxrTR
A6: Getting them plugged into a phenomenal mentor and active in PLCs. Listening and growing them to solve problems!
A6: Remove burdensome feeling for new T's. Align them with mentors that don't drink from poisoned well.
A6 System provides support program 4 BTs. School provides mentors for each BT years 1-3. Better support is needed.
table that collects weekly info in categories: wrking with Ts, coaching cyles, PD, personal PD, & other.
A6: remember what it's like to be new. Use big four to identify appropriate area(s) &order of goals(s).
A7: It's mostly a time for getting to know kids & families. I spent a lot of time in Kdg. and at the drop off areas in the am/pm
For some reason people think men have issues with this. Too often we focus on fixing b4 or w/o listening.
Those are MUST-HAVES. Can't cook the recipe for success without those ingredients.
A7: prioritizing and inservice scheduling is key. Take out PD fluff and concentrate on the needs of the campus and Ss
I think so- it's about building relationships. Check out Student Centered Coaching by Sweeney.
A7: We are asking the ? how can the 1st week of school look more like the end of school. Rigor and relevant in everything we do.
A7 Write the goals down so that they are there as pt of ref - BUT teachers might need to knock off a few 'Nike' goals first
I'm sorry. Did you say something?
very true. asking Qs is critical for learning & building relationships
Q8: What questions would you like to ask the group to assist in your planning? How can we help?
Yes! We've all been there at some point. Thinking about what would've helped us move forward as a NT. https://t.co/VoHEiLFmab
A6: remember what it's like to be new. Use big four to identify appropriate area(s) &order of goals(s).
indeed! It's so nice to have professionals on the same page!
A8: Is anyone else here an independent coach? Not connected to a school?
A7 Focus on building relationships and then focus on student learning goals. https://t.co/ucygJmZ9rh
Q7: With so much going on at the start of the year (i.e.room prep, in-service...) how do you keep a focus on St learning goals?
A8: I'd like any tips from coaches who have started the year in cycles. Helping Ts get up and running Coaching in the first 9 wks
A7 May need to coach teacher on organisation/work-flow goals so they can get to student learning goals - start where they're at
A8: I would love to find a new team building activity.
A8 How do you balance last year's student learning data with this year's teacher readiness? How do you prioritize your time?
A8: how do you help those unwilling or un-motivated?
I do work as an independent coach for coaches.
A7: Prioritize. Also about employing all hands on deck. Invite spouse or friend to decorate, lug books.. Collaborate w/colleagues.
Me too! https://t.co/GuYRKl17SJ
A8: I'd like any tips from coaches who have started the year in cycles. Helping Ts get up and running Coaching in the first 9 wks
appreciate the distinction. this takes time. ok to give oneself space to grow
A7. In-service scheduling is crucial. Giving teachers time to plan adequately is vital. And they would kill me if I didn't..LOL!
One way is my Hot Button method: have them identify some good reason to do their work that is important to them.
Love that analogy! Great recipes make for a staff that is full and continually want more! https://t.co/5yBGtiN95P
Those are MUST-HAVES. Can't cook the recipe for success without those ingredients.
If you have a link to the form, you can enter observations & have real data to filter & search.
same here. i also appreciate the physical motion of writing & crossing items off
the questions for # 8 would also make great chat topics.
Oops! I forgot about tonight. I'll see y'all next week!
the act of remembering, celebrating successes can go such a long way in trust & motivation building!
I have four already scheduled! Meeting with 1 tomorrow.
A8: We know from the previous year what needs improvement. Needs of the Ss are essential. Concentrate on those while supporting Ts
A8: Find the root cause of the "UN." If they are boulders then focus on the pebbles and the stones. They are more mobile.
help the motivated and willing, let their peers advertise for you. After a good experience they'll talk about it 😊
Would love to read it. Sport coach analogy not always helpful depending on context & experience of it.
I've gotta log off for tonight- work tomorrow! Thanks for a great chat! Will check in next time! :)
cute! Pinterest-worthy :)
Sometimes it helps to look at whether it is a "will" or "skill" situation.
I have this one ordered... looking forward to rdg it!
There's the Jay I know and love...
I ask them to focus on lessons they don't like to teach, but must teach. We make changes to that unit first.
A7: First days should be focused on building relationships, how your Ss learn best and their goals- have them blog to reflect
Might also help 2 explain that when 1st learning something new, normal to feel like you're dumb - it's ok! https://t.co/RWIaS5Fsa0
Sometimes it helps to look at whether it is a "will" or "skill" situation.
I pretty much missed it too! Look forward to joining the convo next time!
Absolutely! Goes for the coach too :)
Q9: What is something you will take away from tonight’s chat and try in your own situation?
I forgot tonight after a crazy day of moving all of my stuff into my new school!!
It's essential to know the needs of your Ts based on campus needs assessment to personalize it! https://t.co/qgOaxmSBZ8
Ts don't have patience for fluff. But what is one man's fluff may be one man's fun. How to know the difference?
Right on the money. How do we get Ss where we want them to go? What do we need to change to make it happen?
A9: "Will or Skill" is a good consideration. Also "Not what's wrong but what's next?" Good ideas and will use them
A9 Before you can coach (teach, learn with, guide) someone, you need to developa a relationship. https://t.co/O970w0sZwT
Q9: What is something you will take away from tonight’s chat and try in your own situation?
They probably don't like it due to misunderstanding...collaboration in this area is essential! https://t.co/vyD0hxTjGE
I ask them to focus on lessons they don't like to teach, but must teach. We make changes to that unit first.
A9 Put my goals in writing, where I can see them everyday
A9: some ideas for keeping my goals more present and less side barred
Start small, show results of early adopters and continue to show support!
A9: Be patient. Build relationships. I knew this, but needed the reminder
Just a reminder that our next summer book study will be on The Art of Coaching Teams by
Q9: continuing to be involved in Twitter chats as these to support and help each other!
Also: focus on the trend. Rising trends = good.
