What's Your Problem? Problems of Practice

9:15-10:15 "Peeling the Onion" protocol for problem of practice (round 1)

• Overview of the protocol

• Move into PoP groups, assign facilitator and timekeeper

• Problem of Practice Topics:

  • Administrators do not understand the role of coaches and therefore coaches are misused

  • Lack of teacher buy-in to coaching

  • Lack of classroom implementation of coach-provided PD

  • Coaching responsibilities spread you too thin

  • The prospect of feedback from "heavy coaching" scares teachers away

  • Deeper issues (such as classroom management) need to be addressed before the agreed-upon coaching focus

10:15-10:25 Break

10:25-11:15 "Identifying Strategies"  protocol for problem of practice (round 2)
