3. 10:15-10:30 Break

4. 10:30-11:00 Write your own scenario: a teacher you are working with in a coaching experience where the BDA cycle could apply. What is the content? What “look fors?” (teaching strategies, focus areas based on district initiative, curriculum implementation, assessment, etc.)

   • BEFORE - Use Before questions - plan your Before conversations (use Jim Knight’s questions as well as coaching Before questions).

   • DURING - cannot plan the During because it is dependent on the Before conversation, but we can consider what we might suggest to the teacher based on the information you do know.

   • AFTER - For the After, there may be some “standard” questions you might use for any After conversation. What might they be? Where might you start with After questions for your scenario?
