In the past, when I was in a coaching team, we had a strategic approach: we planned follow-up sessions in small groups if it had been a whole-school PD, or if it was solo-PD then it was built into professional goals so a continuing talking-point. #educoach

Giving teachers and staff ownership in their learning and next steps is important. With voice and choice, a coach can differentiate support while also honoring the partnerships they form with teachers and teams. I always appreciate their feedback. #educoach

We use exit slips: What’s one thing you're committed to trying and what support do you need? Then, we use their responses as a springboard for follow-up support. #educoach

I follow the 25 hour rule. Ts should a minimum of 25 hours of learning, implementation, feedback and revision on implementation to change practice. That means less new learning and more practice and feedback on what was taught. #educoach

As an IC, I would ask Ts at the end of PD what learning they were going to implement into their lessons as a result of the PD... 2-3 weeks later, I would email them & ask how the strategy went, if I could come see it in action, etc. It was extremely effective! @AshleyPTaplin
