Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

Expected Outcome: Participants will walk away with digital templates of how to create an unbiased, data-based observations that hold a mirrored reflection for the observe-ee. Through the online template of coaching questions, participants will deepen their understanding of crafting open-ended questions for the purpose of maintaining trusting relationships, thereby creating buy-in for implementation of school/district-wide goals.

Participants Will Receive: various types of data collection forms which can be used unbiasedly to promote growth mindset such as:
- Digitally shared Google Drawing with annotations sampling observation tallies and premade key tallies
- Digitally shared Google Drawing Template sampling a layout of a classroom
- Digitally shared sampling of teacher keys
- Digitally shared coaching questions (samples for before, during, and after an observation)

Participants Will Consider: How this model of data gathering might work in the context of lead teachers, curriculum coaches, and administrative roles, and how this model might support the implementation of district and school wide goals.
