A1: The activity included having teachers put on the "grandparent" hat to brag about the student's strengths. #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Video is powerful. I'd love to have a T watch and reflect on student behavior to see those strengths first hand. #educoach

A1 I have helped Ts collect current reality data on full class. Quite eye-opening and the student in may not be the challenge. #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: Also just like our colleagues, making the effort to build and maintain a positive relationship with the student. #educoach

MicheleCCochran Apr 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1. Promote building relationships & opps 4 st voices. If you don't know your kids, how will u be able to see the positives?#educoach

shiraleibowitz - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1 Learn about the strengths; designing program notw to address signature strengths of kids w/language based learning differences #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

It takes out the subjective lens for sure. We don't know what we don't know, so seeing our current reality is crucial. #educoach

Ahh, you keep pulling out the hats don’t you now #educoach

In reply to @PrincipalJ

123MrsSmith456 Apr 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1 I encourage Ts to make a table of what the S can do & what the S can ALMOST do to choose a teaching point. Can do helps mindset #educoach

ApraRalli Apr 12 @ 9:14 PM EDT

#educoach great learning and this has just only begun....

In reply to @123MrsSmith456, @123MrsSmith456

shiraleibowitz - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: What happens leading up to challenging behavior; trying to identify triggers/patterns #educoach

123MrsSmith456 Apr 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

The teaching point comes from can almost do. It's much easier to work from there than a can't-do-at-all skill. #educoach

In reply to @shiraleibowitz

PrincipalJ - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: How about ratio of positive praise to feedback that can feel negative or nagging to a student? #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@jimknight99 describes an activity for Ts. (next few tweets) At end of week T writes down all students names from memory. #educoach (cont..)

amburkoed Apr 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

In reply to @shiraleibowitz

123MrsSmith456 Apr 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

It made me consider my staff. Can I name 3 things for each T? #educoach

In reply to @MicheleCCochran, @PrincipalJ

ApraRalli Apr 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

#educoach A2. More than data I'd say evidence to help Ts gain an understanding of the challenges and behavior patterns

shiraleibowitz - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Yes! I love that. It helps set manageable goals and gives such a message of hope and potential #educoach

In reply to @123MrsSmith456

KathyPerret - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Cont. If T forgets students' names they are the first ones he/she focuses on during next week to build relationship. #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: patterns of engagement or on/off task behavior; look for trends within triggers or patterns of escalations #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Great connection to idea! #educoach

In reply to @123MrsSmith456, @MicheleCCochran, @PrincipalJ

brookeprice14 Apr 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: Figuring out what the student reacts to positivity and what they react to negatively #educoach

amburkoed Apr 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: script what T and S are saying, movement around the classroom, S engagement a different parts of lesson #educoach

shiraleibowitz - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

No apologies necessary. Welcome! #educoach

In reply to @amburkoed

amburkoed Apr 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: what happens before, during, after transitions, positive/negative interactions #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Yes!! What a great lens to look though. I wonder how often T feedback is taken negatively to Ss? #educoach

PrincipalJ - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: How about ratio of positive praise to feedback that can feel negative or nagging to a student? #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

#educoach (It helps if I spell the hashtag right!)

A2 I've used things like Time on Task, Positive to Negative interactions, Questioning techniques, etc... We analyze data together #eduoach

In reply to @KathyPerret

123MrsSmith456 Apr 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 Coaches can observe & keep tallies or notes on any skill. Coaches should meet with Ts to set expectations/goals for the time #educoach

amburkoed Apr 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

This might be one of the most powerful tools. Then Ts can see it. #educoach

Q3 As a coach, how do you help a teacher build their “toolbox” of strategies to teach students with challenging behaviors? #educoach

In reply to @AggieSalterITS, @SibmeApp

amburkoed Apr 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: give Ts specific feedback on growth points and we work together to determine what I will collect data on in the next visit #educoach

amburkoed Apr 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: also create common def. if what is being looked for then have teachers analyze the data. give more specific "fixes" #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

In reply to @KathyPerret

You could do the same activity as a coach - listing teachers. :) #educoach

In reply to @123MrsSmith456

123MrsSmith456 Apr 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3 1st step = making sure the T feels heard. Only then can you have a chance to make a difference. #educoach

brookeprice14 Apr 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Let the T know what is working isn't working for that child. Then figure out way to continue to build their toolbox #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Being in a partnership allows for ongoing brainstorming w/trial & error together. Keep strategies student-centered & focused. #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Q4 What resources have you found helpful when assisting teachers with students with challenging behaviors? #educoach

LitROCK_taylor Apr 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 modeling strategies, facilitate observations in other classrooms, research strategies, reflect on what is and isn't working #educoach

shiraleibowitz - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Q3 As a coach, how do you help a teacher build their “toolbox” of strategies to teach students with challenging behaviors? #educoach

NikMagee9 Apr 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A2: A baseline level of behavior must be established to determine the effectiveness of any interventions. #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Grounding strategies in research and ensuring there is enough time to model, try, reflect, and adjust. #educoach

A4 One resource I've used is Intervention Central: https://t.co/SsDm7thglW #educoach

MicheleCCochran Apr 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3. Peer observations. Sometimes Ts need to see positive classroom mgmnt strategies in action b4 they understand. #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Within those team meetings, how might we look at the whole child to best meet their needs? #educoach

shiraleibowitz - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: Team meetings in which multiple people who know the child brainstorm,plan, implement, reflect&refine #educoach

Q7 What are examples of teachers who inspired you through their approaches to working with children with challenging behaviors? #educoach

MicheleCCochran Apr 12 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6. Meet w/T and script a convo with parent. And remember "compliment sandwich"! #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Often our challenging students don't "do school" in the traditional sense. As coaches we can help guide innovation! #educoach

mrsjahudson Apr 12 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A6 We have to encourage Ts to leave judgments of parents at the door in order to create partnership & open communication #educoach
