7. Describe your Coaching

I gave my student materials I had put together to this teacher. We have common plan time and common students, so I was able to guide her through implementation. She did a great job. The only adjustments I made were making slideshows to help guide her though implementation.

I was able to work 1:1 with a student during AIS instructional time  as well as push-in to a classroom to work with a variety of students.  Most students were able to move on after worksheet B or C, some rewuirede additional practice and support with additional worksheets.  Due to our transient population, it does present challenges with students starting and ending at various times of the school year.  I was able to meet with Dotti several times thoughout the year to review strategies and ideas.

Patty Kohler-Evans and I co-presented FSW over Zoom in six afterschool sessions for teachers across Arkansas.  This gave teachers time to go back and implement as they learned.  Most of the issues we ran into were Covid-related, with students being out of school for extended periods of time.

Every other day, after getting a seventh grade language arts classroom welcomed and settled, I instruct the student on, what we call, Mrs. Hogsten's red sentence. The two other teachers and myself instruct the students to open their workbooks to the current page. I refresh the students memory on what we have learned so far using the SIM cue cards and past work exercises. We study the practice sentences together as a class. All teachers walk around and help individual students. I call on individual students to answer questions and participate in the instruction process. Feedback is given to students immediately.
