A1: Facilitated Ts in group observation w/a purpose last year. Focus was specific feedback asked for by the T we observed. #educoach

lisameyers2003 Oct 11 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 focused math learning walks last year worked well. 8 Ts observed 4 math classes #educoach

IAteacherNan - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: My principal is excited about learning walks, but we haven't yet had time to put it into practice. #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Q2 What are benefits of peer observations/learning walks? #educoach

3Realley Oct 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1 feedback on peer observation should not be judgmental and should focus things that were seen or heard #educoach

hbarry3232 Oct 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

This is something I really want to start at my school to shift culture to one of sharing and celebrating success. Not compete. #educoach

hbarry3232 Oct 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 Learning from one another & create a culture of growth There's always something to learn and everyone is an expert in something #educoach

arnoldtimw Oct 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: Developing a common language, promoting sharing, breaking down the silo mentality. #educoach

rcs2ndary1 Oct 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Great point. I love it when Ts can get into rooms that are 1 or more grade levels different than theirs. #educoach

In reply to @bhall_acs

LFKerz Oct 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: endless benefits, but learning walks cultivate an envrnmnt & mindset of continual lrng, collective wisdom,collaborative growth #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 A benefit - teachers actually see each other teach, something that is actually very rare! That needs to change! #educoach

AngelaFaulhaber Oct 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

was just talking about this today. Really excited to implement. #educoach

In reply to @KathyPerret

MrsMoodyIC Oct 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Q2: always powerful see it in action. We are using peer observ as a time to try it right there as well bc doing it is even better #educoach

EduBenne Oct 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Just stumbled on this chat! I’m in Springfield, Mo #educoach

MrsAmandaLCook Oct 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 it kind of goes without saying that it builds a feeling of empowerment and common ground to share practices in this way #educoach

3Realley Oct 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 Peer observation builds a culture that it’s ok to take risks as Ts, others will support us & help us grow #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q3: What are challenges to implementing peer observations/learning walks? #educoach

AngelaFaulhaber Oct 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: I think it's affirming to see others stretching & growing in the same way you do. Teaching can be so isolating. #educoach

A3: finding that first T willing to be a risk-taker and be observed. Also logistics of covering the observers' classes. #educoach

LFKerz Oct 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: time is a big one, but also the trust required by colleagues to do this. Also, the belief that it is worth the time investment #educoach

So true. We think we know what’s happening across or down the hall or even across the district but that’s probably not the case. #educoach

In reply to @IAteacherNan

FEScomal Oct 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2 #educoach confidence, teacher efficacy, collective teacher efficacy

aziaer Oct 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2: Much to be gained from classrooms outside your content ex: band for chunking & feedback; special ed for differentiation, etc #educoach

jimknight99 Oct 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3. I think a big challenge is to not look like you think you are superior than your peer #educoach

A3: Staffing. Where to begin? Am I there to learn? Am I there to help? How much to take on? How much input should be given? #educoach

MrsMoodyIC Oct 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: find a focus, make a plan, and decide that it is priority and will lead to growth for your Ts #educoach

ELaneBV229 Oct 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: #observeme is a great way to gain feedback as well as #pineapplechart #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4 One of my suggestions is build the process WITH teacher, rather than just announce the process. Build together. #educoach

MrsAmandaLCook Oct 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3: finding a first team to go for it knowing that both observer and the teacher can grow together. It doesn't need to one sided #educoach

LFKerz Oct 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: Needs to start w/ a compelling WHY #educoach

3Realley Oct 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4 Allow Ts to volunteer to be observed - use the willing to help get others on board after they see experience as helpful #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4 Principal should be on board as he/she can help with time factor. #educoach

ELaneBV229 Oct 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Couldn't agree more! Trust is so important #educoach

LFKerz Oct 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: time is a big one, but also the trust required by colleagues to do this. Also, the belief that it is worth the time investment #educoach

MrsAmandaLCook Oct 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A4: Just like with coaching, starting small with enrollment and let the Ts tell their story. #educoach

rcs2ndary1 Oct 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3: An understanding that they are evaluative. Building trust, especially if you don’t truly know your colleagues, is a must. #educoach

FEScomal Oct 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4 clear expectations have a focus prepare guiding questions include ample time 2 not only debrief, but follow up & follow through #educoach

KateWaltherOTES Oct 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q3: start small, share success, others see benefits & want in! establish a culture of T learners. Always focus on S learning #educoach

A4: Start with volunteers, but with the knowledge that all will be included eventually. #educoach

rcs2ndary1 Oct 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: Do a learning walk after school when no Ss are present. Just start by getting Ts in each other’s rooms. #educoach

HowardKiyuna Oct 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Could Learning Walk model replace the need for conventional training? #educoach

rcs2ndary1 Oct 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

KateWaltherOTES Oct 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Q5: Ts specific about things they are hoping to get feedback on, survey to staff to see what areas they want to observe #educoach

We’re looking at the idea of “gallery walks” 4 Ts to show each other their online instructional space-Has anyone else tried this? #educoach

LFKerz Oct 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A6: a tool that allows for quick, short, positive feedback is greatly beneficial #educoach

A6 Video can be a way to deal w/ the "time factor". Ts can video lesson. Upload. I like @SibmeApp. Ts could be in a huddle. #educoach

EduBenne Oct 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A6: Mike Rutherford’s 30 sec feedback is great at keeping the focus on positives and what Ss are learning #educoach

rcs2ndary1 Oct 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT

We use @CanvasLMS as our LMS & have developed Course Norms. So Ts have a starting point of what their goal is in Course design. #educoach

Q7: How can we measure the impact of peer observations/learning walks? #educoach

hbarry3232 Oct 11 @ 9:43 PM EDT

We had the option of either. Same layout, but could chose depending on your comfort. #educoach

A6: I was at one school where they used QR codes at the door to show what the teacher wanted feedback about. That was cool. #educoach

A7 Data could vary. In the beginning frequency data, but move to reflection, goal setting. collaboration, etc... #educoach

A7: Imitation? Spreading of ideas hopefully = spreading of strengths? #educoach

lsmith0917 - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:45 PM EDT

This invites a follow up conversation with a colleague (something I want to know more about). Thanks for sharing! #educoach

Busy night... didn't get to enjoy #educoach and I was so excited abt this topic! Will there b a transcript I can check out?

MrsMoodyIC Oct 11 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A7: if the culture of the building changes for the positive & a learner stance is consistent- you can feel the impact. #educoach

CHuckeba Oct 11 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Yes! This! Hallway conversations, convos about teaching in PLCs, and seeing new ideas tried out around the school! #educoach

A7 msr % or # of Ts who try new instrctnl strtgy/extend existing 1 based on peer obs - ultimately impacts Ss, which is goal #1! #educoach

Q8 What questions do you have for each other on learning walks and peer observations? #educoach

hbarry3232 Oct 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7 Hard to measure but culture of building. Ts sharing and working together rather than in isolation. #educoach

CmunroOz Oct 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A8: Examples of focus for learning walks, and reflection tools. How much time 4 observation? #educoach

NikMagee9 Oct 11 @ 9:52 PM EDT

The #pineapplechart could be a great way to encourage peer observation and celebrate the great instruction happening on our campus #educoach

A7: Admin can collect data on specific instruct. practices that have been identified as highly effective. Is their a (+) Shift? #educoach

hbarry3232 Oct 11 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A8 What are some ways to get input from Ts on format? I'm the lone coach for 100 Ts. Trying to find the most efficient way #educoach

MrsMoodyIC Oct 11 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A8: it depends on the focus for the observ but I think my biggest ?’s are around why those instructional decisions were made. #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:53 PM EDT

I think the time could be focused on the specific thing T wants observer or other Ts want to see in action. All based on purpose. #educoach

In reply to @IAteacherNan

lsmith0917 - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Seeing ongoing cross grade level collaboration and establishing a culture of learning for all (both Ts and Ss) is a big takeaway. #educoach

NikMagee9 Oct 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Teachers should have input in how peer observations are structured and establishing individual/dept. goals for observations. #educoach
