Although I have not had the opportunity to provide follow-up coaching with the alternative education teachers, I have been coaching several teachers at my school who were previously trained in LINCS.
Two seventh grade social studies teachers set a goal for themselves to work with me on implementing LINCS this school year. Their coaching cycle included getting together to set a goal, planning a lesson with me and implementing with video observation, then debriefing after we had watched the video and each filled out the implementation checklist. We discussed what went well and what adjustments could be made. One of the teachers had more off-task students than the other. We agreed that her pacing could be improved, her definition shorter and more focused, and her reminding word more student friendly. I am attaching her reflections on her implementation of LINCS and our collaboration through coaching:

Both teachers continued their use of LINCS throughout their units of study, and they both volunteered to have teachers observe their implementation on our SIM Demo Day!
