Ever walked out of an observation thinking, “Okay… now what?” Then this episode is for you! In “How to Make Coaching Observations Better,” I share what makes classroom visits truly impactful, plus everything I wish I’d known when I started coaching.
You’ll learn why classroom observations matter and how focusing on a clear teacher goal makes your feedback more meaningful. I share best practices for building trust with teachers, so they see you as a helpful partner, not a snitch. You’ll hear stories from chaotic classrooms (including kids bopping others on the head with pencils—yes, really!). Discover simple ways to record and reflect on data so your feedback feels helpful instead of overwhelming. Plus, get easy-to-implement follow-up options, like co-teaching, modeling lessons, and video coaching, to keep the momentum going after your observation.
If you’ve ever felt stuck figuring out what to focus on during a classroom observation, or want to make sure your next feedback conversation leads to results, listen now! You’ll walk away with strategies that turn observations into actionable feedback that teachers can actually use!
