How often should I meet with my coachee?

The amount of time you spend with your coachee is determined by the phase of coaching you are in and by your implementation team. Teaching teams who are new to coaching or who haven't met fidelity on the CEM Checklist will need more frequent coaching sessions than teams who are more experienced and have met fidelity.

Remember, one Practice-Based Coaching Cycle includes both a focused observation and a coaching meeting. Your observations should be focused on goals and action plans. Your coaching meeting offers an opportunity to provide feedback and to reflect.

Internal Coaches can access additional coaching resources and webinars on the MNCoE PBC Site by clicking below.

Supporting Coachees in Self Reflecting

Coaches can help coachees self-reflect on key CEM strategies using either the fillable PDF or the survey. Information gathered from this survey can support action planning and professional development efforts at the classroom, building, and/or program level.

Sample CEM Coaching action plans

We are all learning from each other! Thanks to the coaches who shared these action plans.

In what ways are these action plans similar to the ones you are working on with your coachees? What is different?

If you are willing to share an action plan (without identifying information), please email it to Karen Satre at karen.satre@brightworksmn.org

Coach-Coachee Year End Reflection

Feel free to use the fillable PDF form to the right to guide a reflective conversation with your coachee/coachee team at the end of a coaching period. Talking through these questions will support you as a coach in gathering feedback on coaching sessions to date, as well as gathering input to inform future coaching efforts.
