TeachFangs Apr 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 Coaches can help develop team norms. #educoach

jkjohnsonbell - Moderator Apr 19 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3: Revisit Norms, List Topics/Activities. Printed agendas or Google Docs that all can see help keep team meetings flowing. #educoach

RachelTassler Apr 19 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3 Here is a sample of a Team Agenda I have in the @classflow Marketplace https://t.co/Oo5JQUHTDP #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Apr 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3 One role we've had is a Process Observer. They take part in the meeting, but notes and reports out at the end how group worked. #educoach

eburdge Apr 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3 I identify the task at hand; identify the process (brainstorming, discussing, informing etc.) send formal agenda ahead of time #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Apr 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Q3: What type of team agendas have you used? Or what would be important to include to keep team meetings flowing? #educoach

greenangiz Apr 19 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3 Simple: objects/outcomes/ action plans/steps/people involved/push ups to admin #educoach

eburdge Apr 19 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Make the agenda and then cut it in half #educoach

genevie79cr Apr 19 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Norms! Definitely setting norms. Keeping student achievement at the forefront of our conversations & planning. #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Apr 19 @ 9:22 PM EDT

eburdge Apr 19 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3 Our teams benefited from having defined time frames. Sometimes we went over, but it was important to our staff. #educoach

jkjohnsonbell - Moderator Apr 19 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A4: Followed some tips from @artofcoaching1 - Ts brainstorm on note cards, sort in categories, vote on final norms. #educoach

KevinSheridan4 Apr 19 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: A vital role IC can play in keeping teams productive is supporting use of dialogue vs discussion & when each is appropriate #educoach

123MrsSmith456 Apr 19 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4 We make a code of cooperation. Ts write what needs to happen to feel the meeting is successful, & put it on a note.Then combine #educoach

eburdge Apr 19 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: Brainstorm list; refine; devlop understding of what norms mean to everyone. Review at the start of the first few meetings. #educoach

jkjohnsonbell - Moderator Apr 19 @ 9:27 PM EDT

"Code of Cooperation" - Nice! #educoach

In reply to @KevinSheridan4

KathyPerret - Moderator Apr 19 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Side question to Q4 - How do team members make sure they adhere to the norms? #educoach

Beth_Fraze Apr 19 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: Ownership! Having each team member identify one norm that they need to be successful in their work. #educoach

genevie79cr Apr 19 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: Teachers determine the norms for their grade level. IC facilitates the process. #educoach

greenangiz Apr 19 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4 My only norm is to keep students at the center of discussion #educoach

RachelTassler Apr 19 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: We used @artofcoaching1 as a guide & developed them at the beg. Of year. #educoach

RachelTassler Apr 19 @ 9:29 PM EDT

We did that, too. We noticed that many of them were similar, so I took the similarities to make norms for campus meetings. #educoach

In reply to @genevie79cr

jkjohnsonbell - Moderator Apr 19 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q5: What are ways to handle conflicts between team members if they arise? #educoach (@KathyPerret is letting her puppy out!)

RachelTassler Apr 19 @ 9:31 PM EDT

This was how we normed at the beginning of the year. https://t.co/LqvYRwsiIY #educoach

genevie79cr Apr 19 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Definitely! We use individual team norms for their team PLCs. #educoach

In reply to @123MrsSmith456

eburdge Apr 19 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A5: Let all voices be heard; ask a lot of questions to bring awareness to what is in the blindspots #educoach

123MrsSmith456 Apr 19 @ 9:32 PM EDT

I post the norms, and we also looked at them after the meetings to see how we did. Sometimes I'll ask about a specific norm #educoach

In reply to @KathyPerret

jkjohnsonbell - Moderator Apr 19 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A5: Conflicts in meetings can be tough - always preserve relationships. Sometimes take a break or revisit norms or ask ?s. #educoach

A5 This is where I would need coaching-looking forward to hear how others have dealt with this #educoach

A5 It might be right to say, "I feel a little tension right now. Does anyone else feel that?" Otherwise maybe address privately. #educoach

A7: Team dynamics can be challenging. I think it's easier to focus on teaching with an individual. Teams can get distracted. #educoach

RachelTassler Apr 19 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A7: Coaching Indv. is specific to that person's want/need. Coaching Tms is more broad. The buy-in may not be there. Less choice. #educoach

A7 Group think and relationships can be helpful or challenging. There's less support in one-on-one though #educoach

eburdge Apr 19 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A7: I think the amount you can drive forward increases with a team #educoach

educationhall Apr 19 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A7 Fundamentally it's the same work: focus on a goal & attack it, except now we're aiming to build interdependence. #educoach
