How do ICs and SPED teachers collaborate? We can support each other, but what does that look like? #EDpiper

#EDpiper I like the "growth" & "glow". I use the "commendations" and "things to ponder" on my observation tool

Totally. And anyone can coach...it's not about the title. Truth is we should all coach and be coached. #EDpiper

  It's really all about relationships in coaching. Build a strong relationship and go from there.

I think it is great when Ts ask to do this. It is tough to watch yourself practice, but it is the best PD you can ever do. #EDpiper

MrPScientia Feb 20 @ 10:33 PM EST

I think video observation, then watch with T... ask lots of Q's... good coaches don't tell, they ask and ?... IMO!
In reply to @MandyVasek

MrPScientia Feb 20 @ 10:44 PM EST

I think this is the truth, and one of the major hurdles of ICs. As both a IC and a T, this resonates... #TIME! #Edpiper

TeachFangs Feb 20 @ 10:38 PM EST

The deal is this, teaching is difficult and exhausting. Coaching session can become "One more thing between me and my driveway." #EDpiper

When you have Ts leading Ts, you need to celebrate big. That is when the “fly wheel” effect will continuously gain momentum. #edpiper

I think all Ts can be IC's in their own way. Ts should share more and teach together. We have so much to learn from each other!#EDpiper
