Learning from Feedback
As one Tcher wrote, “I appreciate that this video is from a teacher perspective.” Sometimes we get so caught up in what we’re doing that it’s hard to look at things from the perspective of the teachers with whom we work. In this video, see a teacher reflect on what she learned from working with an instructional coach. Focus on the positive impact you’re having and be inspired by the difference you make.

Teacher Time-Outs
Not all feedback has to happen outside of the classroom. Watch how teacher time-outs can be used to pause and give in-the-moment feedback on instruction. This strategy not only helps teachers make the most of their instructional time, but also models continual learning for students.

Learning Walks
Coaching doesn’t have to just be about the teacher-coach relationship either. Sometimes the best learning relationships are among peers. Watch teachers learn from each other on “Learning Walks.”
