Tong figured that this additional work would follow naturally from her duties as a middle school science and Chinese teacher and complement her interest in running. She was training for a half-marathon when the offer arrived, and the timing seemed right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, six years later, she looks back on her earlier reasoning with amusement. “If you go into coaching and think it’s like the classroom, you’re wrong—it’s very different,” she said. Further, technical knowledge of the sport—in her case, running—was essential but far less critical for success than other skills, she added. Her experience in the classroom made her a better coach, and what she has learned working alongside athletes has improved her teaching skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s impossible to know how many teachers are coaches and coaches are teachers, said Dan Schuster, director of coach education at the \u003ca href=\"https://nfhslearn.com/home/coaches\">National Federation of High Schools\u003c/a>; the data don’t exist. But he believes that the greater demands on coaches’ time and the shrinking of the off-season mean that fewer teachers coach multiple sports throughout the school year. Pressure from parents and clubs to focus more on “the X’s and O’s” has forced a change. “Years ago, if you were teaching, you’d coach a team,” he said. “It’s not that culture anymore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The apparent drop in teacher-coaches marks a decline in the important insights that these two-hatted adults bring to the student-athletes in front of them. Interviews with several experienced teacher-coaches reveal what each could learn from the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>What teachers could learn from coaches:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tie learning and teaching to a performance\u003c/strong>. “We as teachers have a lot to learn from coaches,” said Jeff Gilbert, a former teacher and coach and now principal of \u003ca href=\"https://www.smuhsd.org/hillsdalehigh\">Hillsdale High School\u003c/a> in San Mateo, California. Most important, student learning would improve if teachers included more public performances in their instruction, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In sports, players practice their skills in order to play the game better, and coaches modify what and how they train based on the athletes’ performance. Students in the classroom would benefit from similar high-stakes public performances, where they demonstrate what they’ve learned. In this way, the learning has a purpose, the same as throwing and catching drills in baseball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Learning grounded in performance also allows teachers to give students constant feedback, like a coach who tweaks a player’s stance or swing. Though it’s more difficult for teachers to assess how well students are learning—unlike coaches, who can see immediately whether what they’ve taught has stuck—projects that include performances give more opportunities for immediate feedback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students at Hillsdale High School are required each year to participate in learning events that include such public pieces. Sophomores, for example, must take part in the “Golding Trial,” where they assume various roles in a libel “trial” of William Golding, author of \u003cem>Lord of the Flies\u003c/em>. They read the book, study the law and eventually travel to local courthouses to plead their cases. These kinds of learning performances keep education from being all practice and no games, Gilbert said, and allow teachers to give regular feedback while the kids prepare. It also makes \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/45201/why-emotions-are-integral-to-learning\">learning more emotional\u003c/a> and can change the way a teenager thinks about herself as a student. “If we do it right, you’ll have students talking about these school performances the way they do about the big moments in sports, with the same fondness,” Gilbert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Give more feedback\u003c/strong>. Whether tied to a performance or more day-to-day schoolwork, feedback helps kids learn. “It’s the biggest thing that I’ve taken away from coaching and applied to the classroom,” Tong said. Having observed how athletes benefit from her up-to-the-minute response to their play, she strives to offer more timely feedback to the kids in her classroom. In a class discussion, for example, she will respond to a child’s remark, no matter its accuracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always say some type of personal feedback before moving forward, like ‘nice analytical skills,' or ‘I like the way you made a connection, but let's focus on X,’ \" Tong said. The feedback makes kids feel safe and more willing to speak up next time, even if they’re uncertain about their answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Build interdependence\u003c/strong>. A team thrives when everyone on it feels connected and valuable. Coaches work to build that unity. Such interdependence is often absent from classrooms, however, because each student’s academic success is largely independent of others. Learning that involves group performances, where every student plays a role and relies on others, can stir up similar feelings of connection. “When kids feel that they’re in this together, and they’re co-dependent—it’s really powerful,” Gilbert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It’s all about relationships\u003c/strong>. “My coaches wanted to know me on a personal level,” said Aly Carter, who played multiple sports in high school many years ago. But she barely remembers her teachers, because they never took the time to get to know her. Coaches also let her into their lives, Carter said, so that the relationship felt more authentic and balanced. Of course, coaches spend more time in the season with their players in varied settings than teachers; that “quantity time” makes room for natural give-and-take. But teachers who strive to get to know their pupils more personally will likely have a larger impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Look for another side of a child\u003c/strong>. Teachers who work in the classroom can develop a jaundiced view of certain kids. A child who regularly disrupts, or who seems chronically unprepared, can discourage the most experienced teachers. Working with those same kids in an athletic context allows teachers to see them more fully. “I can’t judge a kid based on a science class, because on the field they’re a different person,” Tong said. “It’s a way to see another side of them, and it’s redeeming,” she added, recalling how a timid student in class behaved like a bulldozer on the soccer field. Teachers who aren’t able to coach might get a different sense of a child if they watch her at a sporting event or dance recital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>What coaches could learn from teachers\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stay abreast of research in child development\u003c/strong>.

From his deep understanding of child development, he also realizes that getting the message and culture right on the team is essential to a successful season. Mechanistic coaches without knowledge of how children develop, and who focus solely on tactics and strategy, miss what most teenagers crave: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/50556/being-popular-why-it-consumes-teens-and-continues-to-affect-adults\">social connection.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Develop discreet skills and draw connections\u003c/strong>. Teachers often use structured lesson plans to teach specific skills. Trained in pedagogy, they will craft a particular lesson, explain what they’re teaching to the class, review what they went over at the end, and then prompt the students to practice. According to Gilbert, coaches often lack this essential teaching skill. “Coaches don’t connect the dots, about how the drills connect to the scrimmage, which then connects to the game,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ask, don’t tell\u003c/strong>. Coaches have abundant opportunities in practice and games to tell their players what to do—to move here when the opponent goes one way, to bend or turn or maneuver in some particular way in order to achieve a physical goal. But athletes learn more deeply when a coach asks them how they’ll handle different scenarios, inviting them to figure out for themselves what to do rather than wait to be instructed.

Tong figured that this additional work would follow naturally from her duties as a middle school science and Chinese teacher and complement her interest in running. She was training for a half-marathon when the offer arrived, and the timing seemed right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, six years later, she looks back on her earlier reasoning with amusement. “If you go into coaching and think it’s like the classroom, you’re wrong—it’s very different,” she said. Further, technical knowledge of the sport—in her case, running—was essential but far less critical for success than other skills, she added. Her experience in the classroom made her a better coach, and what she has learned working alongside athletes has improved her teaching skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s impossible to know how many teachers are coaches and coaches are teachers, said Dan Schuster, director of coach education at the \u003ca href=\"https://nfhslearn.com/home/coaches\">National Federation of High Schools\u003c/a>; the data don’t exist. But he believes that the greater demands on coaches’ time and the shrinking of the off-season mean that fewer teachers coach multiple sports throughout the school year. Pressure from parents and clubs to focus more on “the X’s and O’s” has forced a change. “Years ago, if you were teaching, you’d coach a team,” he said. “It’s not that culture anymore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The apparent drop in teacher-coaches marks a decline in the important insights that these two-hatted adults bring to the student-athletes in front of them.

Most important, student learning would improve if teachers included more public performances in their instruction, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In sports, players practice their skills in order to play the game better, and coaches modify what and how they train based on the athletes’ performance. Students in the classroom would benefit from similar high-stakes public performances, where they demonstrate what they’ve learned. In this way, the learning has a purpose, the same as throwing and catching drills in baseball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Learning grounded in performance also allows teachers to give students constant feedback, like a coach who tweaks a player’s stance or swing. Though it’s more difficult for teachers to assess how well students are learning—unlike coaches, who can see immediately whether what they’ve taught has stuck—projects that include performances give more opportunities for immediate feedback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students at Hillsdale High School are required each year to participate in learning events that include such public pieces. Sophomores, for example, must take part in the “Golding Trial,” where they assume various roles in a libel “trial” of William Golding, author of \u003cem>Lord of the Flies\u003c/em>. They read the book, study the law and eventually travel to local courthouses to plead their cases. These kinds of learning performances keep education from being all practice and no games, Gilbert said, and allow teachers to give regular feedback while the kids prepare.

She ran cross-country and track, played soccer and threw herself into lacrosse, helping her school team make it to the state final in 2005. She barely remembers her high school teachers, as her classes and teachers rotated, preventing her from passing much time with any particular one. But she spent four years with several coaches and remains connected to some of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always became close with my coaches,” she said. “I learned my greatest life lessons in team and individual sports.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 8 million teenagers played for their high school teams during the 2017-18 academic year, many of them occupying hours after school under the guidance of various head and assistant coaches. For many of these kids, their coaches reached them in ways their teachers couldn’t, and what they learned on the soccer field or basketball court has stuck in a way that a lecture on the French Revolution did not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of this disparity has to do with the adolescent brain. “These young athletes are pulled into powerful situations where they’re directly engaging physically with other people,” said \u003ca href=\"https://rossier.usc.edu/the-science-of-social-learning-the-research-of-mary-helen-immordino-yang/\">Mary Helen Immordino-Yang\u003c/a>, professor of education, psychology and neuroscience at the University of Southern California. Unlike in the high school classroom, where learning is often abstract, students playing sports are carrying out physical activity in physical space, often in the company of others. The learning is direct and clear. And the interactions with teammates often elicit powerful emotional responses at a time when the adolescent brain is highly susceptible to social cues and hierarchies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where there are powerful emotions, there are tools for learning,” Immordino-Yang said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, not all coaches are effective, and some kids will take home destructive lessons and sour memories from their sports experiences. Even worse, the intimacy of the coach-athlete relationship can morph into abuse. But sports remain the most popular extracurricular activity for children ages 6-17, ahead of religious education, music, dance and art. For better or worse, coaches affect child development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shorter path to learning and emotional jolt that sports provide give coaches an opportunity to reach their student athletes in several ways:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Forging personal relationships\u003c/strong>. “My coaches took the time to know me personally,” Carter said about her high school coaches, a sentiment shared by many former athletes. An in-depth study on the developmental benefits and drawbacks of sports conducted by researchers at Queens and York universities \u003ca href=\"https://www.researchgate.net/publication/252010940_Understanding_Adolescents'_Positive_and_Negative_Developmental_Experiences_in_Sport\">confirmed\u003c/a> these perceptions. The majority of swimmers who participated in the study reported that their coaches had made “special connections with athletes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the relationships often go both ways: Students know their coaches more personally, too, and see them as fully fledged adults rather than educators at a podium. Will Sangree, now 28, remembers the time commitment his high school lacrosse, cross-country and hockey coaches devoted to their teams. Practice and game time, team dinners, bus rides — “they invested so much time in us, I definitely knew them better than my teachers,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sangree remembers observing his coaches with their children, and noting that how they interacted with their own families had a powerful impact. It felt natural seeing a coach in different settings and taking on various roles, whereas running into a teacher out of school “was a weird, out-of-body experience,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Working together toward a shared goal\u003c/strong>. \u003ca href=\"http://www.wcsu.edu/psychology/faclist/\">Shane Murphy\u003c/a>, a professor at Western Connecticut State University and former president of Exercise and Sports Psychology at the American Psychological Association, often starts his sports psychology course by asking students if the class is a team. The students always say no. “That’s because we don’t have shared goals,” Murphy explained. Everyone is graded individually, and classmates’ performances have no bearing on the other students. On sports teams, players are often interdependent, and effective coaches underscore the need for unity and work toward a common goal. “Coaches are involved in helping individuals feel a part of something bigger than themselves,” Murphy added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even teams made up of individual competitions, like track or tennis, can be unified by coaches who emphasize everyone’s contribution to the team’s performance, and who build a sense of camaraderie. Teenagers might feel a sense of purpose in sports that’s lacking in the classroom. Maggie Lynch, now a junior in college, recalled how her high school field hockey and lacrosse coaches compelled her to work toward a common goal. “I felt as though my coaches actually trusted me in important and consequential situations,” she said, “whereas my teachers encouraged me to do well solely for my own benefit, not for the benefit of the group.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tailoring motivation to the individual\u003c/strong>. To be sure, dedicated and experienced teachers work to teach children in a way that they will best understand. But teachers working with dozens of kids in multiple classes aren’t afforded the time to know what sparks every student. Good coaches, on the other hand, who often spend countless hours with their players, will motivate each one depending on her personality and nature — knowing that a quiet word of encouragement to one child won’t work with another, who might respond better to blunt feedback. Because coaches often have a deeper understanding of the kids on their team, they are better able to tailor their motivation to the child in front of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Providing adult friendship. \u003c/strong>Research on child development \u003ca href=\"https://www.childtrends.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/2013-54CaringAdults.pdf\">shows\u003c/a> that teenagers who have healthy relationships with adults other than their parents are less apt to bully or experience depression and are more inclined to engage in school and their community. For some students, coaches play this role. Aly Carter remembers her high school coaches interacting with her more casually than her teachers. “My coaches came down more to my level, while my teachers were more like authorities,” she said. That informality removed barriers to a relationship and allowed her to build lasting bonds with caring adults. Lynch had a similar memory about her high school sports experiences: “I got to form real friendships with adults and was given responsibility from people other than my parents,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Teaching “life lessons” that transcend the sports arena\u003c/strong>. In the classroom, these traits would be characterized as \u003ca href=\"https://casel.org/what-is-sel/\">social emotional learning\u003c/a>: growth in self-discipline, social and self-awareness, relationship skills, decision-making. In this, coaches received the most universal praise. Sangree learned “about hard work and all that,” he said, but he also came to appreciate that his behavior had an impact beyond himself. “Getting drunk outside in the park on the weekend affects not just you, but your teammates and family,” he said his coaches taught him. Lynch put it more bluntly: “My high school sports experiences shaped me into a functioning human,” she said. “The lessons I learned through sports” — about teamwork, communication, and trust in others — “are so much more applicable to real-life situations than those I learned in the classroom.”\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The experience of having a coach who can guide a team towards a common goal can help deepen the relationships a student has at school and help individuals feel a part of something bigger than themselves.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1548746060,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":17,"wordCount":1234},"headData":{"title":"How Effective Sports Coaches Help Students Feel Understood at School | KQED","description":"The experience of having a coach who can guide a team towards a common goal can help deepen the relationships a student has at school and help individuals feel a part of something bigger than themselves.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"How Effective Sports Coaches Help Students Feel Understood at School","datePublished":"2019-01-29T07:14:20.000Z","dateModified":"2019-01-29T07:14:20.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"52828 https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/?p=52828","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2019/01/28/how-effective-sports-coaches-help-students-feel-understood-at-school/","disqusTitle":"How Effective Sports Coaches Help Students Feel Understood at School","path":"/mindshift/52828/how-effective-sports-coaches-help-students-feel-understood-at-school","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Aly Carter graduated from high school 13 years ago, and what she remembers most distinctly about those years were her experiences on the playing fields. She ran cross-country and track, played soccer and threw herself into lacrosse, helping her school team make it to the state final in 2005. She barely remembers her high school teachers, as her classes and teachers rotated, preventing her from passing much time with any particular one. But she spent four years with several coaches and remains connected to some of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always became close with my coaches,” she said. “I learned my greatest life lessons in team and individual sports.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 8 million teenagers played for their high school teams during the 2017-18 academic year, many of them occupying hours after school under the guidance of various head and assistant coaches. For many of these kids, their coaches reached them in ways their teachers couldn’t, and what they learned on the soccer field or basketball court has stuck in a way that a lecture on the French Revolution did not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of this disparity has to do with the adolescent brain. “These young athletes are pulled into powerful situations where they’re directly engaging physically with other people,” said \u003ca href=\"https://rossier.usc.edu/the-science-of-social-learning-the-research-of-mary-helen-immordino-yang/\">Mary Helen Immordino-Yang\u003c/a>, professor of education, psychology and neuroscience at the University of Southern California. Unlike in the high school classroom, where learning is often abstract, students playing sports are carrying out physical activity in physical space, often in the company of others. The learning is direct and clear. And the interactions with teammates often elicit powerful emotional responses at a time when the adolescent brain is highly susceptible to social cues and hierarchies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where there are powerful emotions, there are tools for learning,” Immordino-Yang said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, not all coaches are effective, and some kids will take home destructive lessons and sour memories from their sports experiences. Even worse, the intimacy of the coach-athlete relationship can morph into abuse. But sports remain the most popular extracurricular activity for children ages 6-17, ahead of religious education, music, dance and art. For better or worse, coaches affect child development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shorter path to learning and emotional jolt that sports provide give coaches an opportunity to reach their student athletes in several ways:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Forging personal relationships\u003c/strong>. “My coaches took the time to know me personally,” Carter said about her high school coaches, a sentiment shared by many former athletes. An in-depth study on the developmental benefits and drawbacks of sports conducted by researchers at Queens and York universities \u003ca href=\"https://www.researchgate.net/publication/252010940_Understanding_Adolescents'_Positive_and_Negative_Developmental_Experiences_in_Sport\">confirmed\u003c/a> these perceptions. The majority of swimmers who participated in the study reported that their coaches had made “special connections with athletes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the relationships often go both ways: Students know their coaches more personally, too, and see them as fully fledged adults rather than educators at a podium. Will Sangree, now 28, remembers the time commitment his high school lacrosse, cross-country and hockey coaches devoted to their teams. Practice and game time, team dinners, bus rides — “they invested so much time in us, I definitely knew them better than my teachers,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sangree remembers observing his coaches with their children, and noting that how they interacted with their own families had a powerful impact. It felt natural seeing a coach in different settings and taking on various roles, whereas running into a teacher out of school “was a weird, out-of-body experience,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Working together toward a shared goal\u003c/strong>. \u003ca href=\"http://www.wcsu.edu/psychology/faclist/\">Shane Murphy\u003c/a>, a professor at Western Connecticut State University and former president of Exercise and Sports Psychology at the American Psychological Association, often starts his sports psychology course by asking students if the class is a team. The students always say no. “That’s because we don’t have shared goals,” Murphy explained. Everyone is graded individually, and classmates’ performances have no bearing on the other students. On sports teams, players are often interdependent, and effective coaches underscore the need for unity and work toward a common goal. “Coaches are involved in helping individuals feel a part of something bigger than themselves,” Murphy added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even teams made up of individual competitions, like track or tennis, can be unified by coaches who emphasize everyone’s contribution to the team’s performance, and who build a sense of camaraderie. Teenagers might feel a sense of purpose in sports that’s lacking in the classroom. Maggie Lynch, now a junior in college, recalled how her high school field hockey and lacrosse coaches compelled her to work toward a common goal. “I felt as though my coaches actually trusted me in important and consequential situations,” she said, “whereas my teachers encouraged me to do well solely for my own benefit, not for the benefit of the group.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tailoring motivation to the individual\u003c/strong>. To be sure, dedicated and experienced teachers work to teach children in a way that they will best understand. But teachers working with dozens of kids in multiple classes aren’t afforded the time to know what sparks every student. Good coaches, on the other hand, who often spend countless hours with their players, will motivate each one depending on her personality and nature — knowing that a quiet word of encouragement to one child won’t work with another, who might respond better to blunt feedback. Because coaches often have a deeper understanding of the kids on their team, they are better able to tailor their motivation to the child in front of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Providing adult friendship. \u003c/strong>Research on child development \u003ca href=\"https://www.childtrends.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/2013-54CaringAdults.pdf\">shows\u003c/a> that teenagers who have healthy relationships with adults other than their parents are less apt to bully or experience depression and are more inclined to engage in school and their community. For some students, coaches play this role. Aly Carter remembers her high school coaches interacting with her more casually than her teachers. “My coaches came down more to my level, while my teachers were more like authorities,” she said. That informality removed barriers to a relationship and allowed her to build lasting bonds with caring adults. Lynch had a similar memory about her high school sports experiences: “I got to form real friendships with adults and was given responsibility from people other than my parents,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Teaching “life lessons” that transcend the sports arena\u003c/strong>.

Now in their second year, the program has expanded to 101 schools. The program is device-agnostic; schools using any devices or tools are welcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The approach we really stand by is setting up individualized development plans for each teacher,” said \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/toolegitteach?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kelli Coons\u003c/a>, a technology coach at Inman Intermediate in South Carolina. Coons works with 10 teachers at a time in an eight-week coaching cycle. Each teacher chooses a problem of practice she’d like to work on and Coons helps develop solutions, think through problems, recommend potential tools, and troubleshoot setbacks. Taking time to reflect on what went well and what could change is a big part of the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DLP works with participating principals to make it very clear that coaches are not part of the administration and they should not be asked to report on teachers.

For her, that means taking time to get to know things about the teacher’s life outside of school, bringing snacks to meetings, and delivering on promised support. It also helps to show teachers data on how much time they’ve saved or how much better students learned a topic to make the case for why new approaches are worth the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52655\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-52655\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-800x431.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-800x431.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-160x86.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-768x413.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-960x517.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-240x129.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-375x202.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-520x280.png 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress.png 983w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Results from pilot year surveys of teachers at DLP schools. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Digital Promise/\u003ca href=\"http://digitalpromise.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/DLP_Coaching_infographic_v1r9.pdf\">DLP Coaching Infographic\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Coons said she has teachers working on very different focus areas in their classrooms.

In fact, she found working with those “high flyer” teachers one of the most challenging parts of coaching because she didn’t feel she had much to offer. Feeling insecure, she turned to her DLP mentor, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/heza?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heather Dowd\u003c/a>, for advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Heather explained that in our position, we’re not always the experts on everything, sometimes we’re a sounding board or just someone to have a conversation with to feel better,” Coons said. She has learned coaching is much more than being ready with a resource or tool; really good coaches actively listen, ask probing questions, and help teachers arrive at ideas independently so they have ownership over their growth. In that way it’s a lot like great classroom teaching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT MAKES A GOOD COACH?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Digital Promise and EdTechTeam partnered to design the DLP program based on research about coaching and the experiences of veteran coaches who’ve learned how to be effective by doing it. There’s a gap in the research about coaching for technology integration that Digital Promise is hoping to fill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to get much more explicit and clear about how we talk about the power of technology in learning,” said Karen Cator, president and CEO of Digital Promise. She’s frustrated that studies that look at aggregated test scores are used as proof of whether teachers and students should be using technology to learn. In her mind, it’s an incontrovertible fact that access to knowledge on the internet and to powerful tech-tools have changed everything about what school can and should be. Now, leaders need to do more to make sure teachers can use those assets effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Digital Promise researchers regularly surveyed principals, teachers, coaches, mentors, and students involved in the first year of the project. From their responses they identified five qualities of effective coaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A coach is good at building relationships. “For a teacher to welcome a coach into their classroom there has to be trust,” Cator said.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Great coaches are often insiders. This is related to building relationships because someone who comes from inside the school knows its culture, their colleagues, and the students more intimately than someone coming from the outside. They can gain trust faster and make an impact on teaching and learning more quickly.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Coaches must be strong communicators. “This is all about communication, so you have to have someone who can give feedback to the teachers in helpful ways,” Cator said. But communication doesn’t stop there. The coach also needs to be able to communicate effectively with the principal, parents, and district folks. The coach is a connector between these stakeholders.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A coach believes in the power of technology. “The person didn’t have to be technically awesome, but they needed to believe in the power of technology for transforming teaching and learning,” Cator said.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A coach is an experienced teacher. When the coach has enough classroom experience to give advice and personal experience about a variety of classroom situations, they are much more effective. Someone who is in their first few years of teaching doesn’t yet have the credibility with other colleagues to be the most effective coach, no matter how eager they are about technology and learning.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The surveys Digital Promise has conducted of participants at all levels (principals, teachers and coaches) show that this\u003ca href=\"http://digitalpromise.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/DLP_Coaching_infographic_v1r9.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> model has potential\u003c/a> to help school continuously improve. A report on the project’s first year, \u003ca href=\"https://digitalpromise.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/DLP_CoachingReport_2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“Fostering Powerful Uses of Technology through Instructional Coaching,”\u003c/a> notes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Our data shows that after one year of working with their DLP coach, teachers are using technology more frequently and in more powerful ways. DLP teachers report significant increases in using technology for both teaching content and pedagogy—in other words, teachers are using technology to support what they are teaching, as well as how they are teaching it. At the end of the year, more than 80 percent of DLP teachers agreed that they have the ability to use technology in powerful ways when it comes to student collaboration, creativity, communication, critical thinking, agency, and that students are better at selecting appropriate technology tools.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ROLE OF MENTORS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A unique aspect of DLP is the support in-school technology coaches receive from mentors. Mentors are former teachers and coaches themselves, who often fumbled their way towards coaching over many years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I first went one-to-one in 2010 with iPads, I was the only teacher in my building who had devices, I had no coach, and I spent the first three months crying,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/48664/why-its-imperative-educators-resist-the-lure-of-the-single-story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jennie Magiera\u003c/a> on a panel about DLP at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.iste.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)\u003c/a> conference. “And my instruction became worse for a little while because I was struggling so much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what DLP is trying to avoid for the next generation of coaches and teachers. Schools have already invested in the technology, now they need to invest in coaching for teachers to make this fairly profound shift in practice. But coaching can be a lonely job -- that person often has no one else in their building doing similar work. That’s where the mentor comes in. Mentors are a resource for coaches, so they continue their own professional growth too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the coaches we are working with are coaching at a higher level faster than coaches who don’t have the support,” said Heather Dowd, a DLP mentor working with coaches in South Carolina and Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dowd describes coaching as a continuum between being what she calls a “consultant” and being a true coach. At the consultant end of the spectrum, the coach is often providing resources, giving tool suggestions, helping teachers implement a lesson using the tool, and reflecting with them on how it went. Many people feel more comfortable in the consultant role, Dowd says, because they feel useful. “The challenge comes in if you never transition to becoming a coach and helping them do some of it for themselves,” Dowd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/49491/when-coaching-teachers-has-curiosity-as-its-primary-goal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">True coaching\u003c/a>, like great teaching, is about helping the adult learner see the solution on their own. Dowd says she’s always pushing the coaches she mentors to “pause, paraphrase, and ask questions.” When a teacher brings up a challenge, rather than jumping in with a potential solution or tool, listening and asking probing questions can help the teacher come to a solution on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And since mentors are working with coaches at upwards of thirty schools across a region, they can play a connector role, sharing ideas between coaches in very different contexts. The DLP coaches meet regularly with their mentor online, but also participate in Google Hangouts with other coaches. It’s a community of support and idea sharing that makes the job less lonely and helps everyone improve. Some coaches in a region have even started visiting one another’s schools and meeting up in person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reflection is another key piece of this program.

In its first year, the partnership between \u003ca href=\"https://edu.google.com/giving/dynamic-learning-project/?modal_active=none\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://digitalpromise.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Promise\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.edtechteam.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EdTechTeam\u003c/a> worked with coaches in 50 schools across the U.S. as they individually coached teachers in their buildings. Now in their second year, the program has expanded to 101 schools. The program is device-agnostic; schools using any devices or tools are welcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The approach we really stand by is setting up individualized development plans for each teacher,” said \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/toolegitteach?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kelli Coons\u003c/a>, a technology coach at Inman Intermediate in South Carolina. Coons works with 10 teachers at a time in an eight-week coaching cycle. Each teacher chooses a problem of practice she’d like to work on and Coons helps develop solutions, think through problems, recommend potential tools, and troubleshoot setbacks. Taking time to reflect on what went well and what could change is a big part of the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DLP works with participating principals to make it very clear that coaches are not part of the administration and they should not be asked to report on teachers. A trusting relationship between teacher and coach is imperative for teachers to feel comfortable enough to try new things and fail along the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In any coaching position, and any teaching position really, it’s building those relationships so they’re welcoming to have you in their classroom on a daily basis,” Coons said. For her, that means taking time to get to know things about the teacher’s life outside of school, bringing snacks to meetings, and delivering on promised support. It also helps to show teachers data on how much time they’ve saved or how much better students learned a topic to make the case for why new approaches are worth the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52655\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-52655\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-800x431.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-800x431.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-160x86.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-768x413.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-960x517.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-240x129.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-375x202.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress-520x280.png 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/DLP-progress.png 983w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Results from pilot year surveys of teachers at DLP schools. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Digital Promise/\u003ca href=\"http://digitalpromise.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/DLP_Coaching_infographic_v1r9.pdf\">DLP Coaching Infographic\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Coons said she has teachers working on very different focus areas in their classrooms.

In fact, she found working with those “high flyer” teachers one of the most challenging parts of coaching because she didn’t feel she had much to offer. Feeling insecure, she turned to her DLP mentor, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/heza?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heather Dowd\u003c/a>, for advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Heather explained that in our position, we’re not always the experts on everything, sometimes we’re a sounding board or just someone to have a conversation with to feel better,” Coons said. She has learned coaching is much more than being ready with a resource or tool; really good coaches actively listen, ask probing questions, and help teachers arrive at ideas independently so they have ownership over their growth. In that way it’s a lot like great classroom teaching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT MAKES A GOOD COACH?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Digital Promise and EdTechTeam partnered to design the DLP program based on research about coaching and the experiences of veteran coaches who’ve learned how to be effective by doing it. There’s a gap in the research about coaching for technology integration that Digital Promise is hoping to fill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to get much more explicit and clear about how we talk about the power of technology in learning,” said Karen Cator, president and CEO of Digital Promise. She’s frustrated that studies that look at aggregated test scores are used as proof of whether teachers and students should be using technology to learn. In her mind, it’s an incontrovertible fact that access to knowledge on the internet and to powerful tech-tools have changed everything about what school can and should be. Now, leaders need to do more to make sure teachers can use those assets effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Digital Promise researchers regularly surveyed principals, teachers, coaches, mentors, and students involved in the first year of the project. From their responses they identified five qualities of effective coaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A coach is good at building relationships. “For a teacher to welcome a coach into their classroom there has to be trust,” Cator said.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Great coaches are often insiders. This is related to building relationships because someone who comes from inside the school knows its culture, their colleagues, and the students more intimately than someone coming from the outside. They can gain trust faster and make an impact on teaching and learning more quickly.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Coaches must be strong communicators. “This is all about communication, so you have to have someone who can give feedback to the teachers in helpful ways,” Cator said. But communication doesn’t stop there. The coach also needs to be able to communicate effectively with the principal, parents, and district folks. The coach is a connector between these stakeholders.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A coach believes in the power of technology. “The person didn’t have to be technically awesome, but they needed to believe in the power of technology for transforming teaching and learning,” Cator said.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A coach is an experienced teacher. When the coach has enough classroom experience to give advice and personal experience about a variety of classroom situations, they are much more effective. Someone who is in their first few years of teaching doesn’t yet have the credibility with other colleagues to be the most effective coach, no matter how eager they are about technology and learning.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The surveys Digital Promise has conducted of participants at all levels (principals, teachers and coaches) show that this\u003ca href=\"http://digitalpromise.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/DLP_Coaching_infographic_v1r9.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> model has potential\u003c/a> to help school continuously improve. A report on the project’s first year, \u003ca href=\"https://digitalpromise.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/DLP_CoachingReport_2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“Fostering Powerful Uses of Technology through Instructional Coaching,”\u003c/a> notes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Our data shows that after one year of working with their DLP coach, teachers are using technology more frequently and in more powerful ways. DLP teachers report significant increases in using technology for both teaching content and pedagogy—in other words, teachers are using technology to support what they are teaching, as well as how they are teaching it. At the end of the year, more than 80 percent of DLP teachers agreed that they have the ability to use technology in powerful ways when it comes to student collaboration, creativity, communication, critical thinking, agency, and that students are better at selecting appropriate technology tools.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ROLE OF MENTORS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A unique aspect of DLP is the support in-school technology coaches receive from mentors. Mentors are former teachers and coaches themselves, who often fumbled their way towards coaching over many years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I first went one-to-one in 2010 with iPads, I was the only teacher in my building who had devices, I had no coach, and I spent the first three months crying,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/48664/why-its-imperative-educators-resist-the-lure-of-the-single-story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jennie Magiera\u003c/a> on a panel about DLP at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.iste.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)\u003c/a> conference. “And my instruction became worse for a little while because I was struggling so much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what DLP is trying to avoid for the next generation of coaches and teachers. Schools have already invested in the technology, now they need to invest in coaching for teachers to make this fairly profound shift in practice. But coaching can be a lonely job -- that person often has no one else in their building doing similar work. That’s where the mentor comes in. Mentors are a resource for coaches, so they continue their own professional growth too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the coaches we are working with are coaching at a higher level faster than coaches who don’t have the support,” said Heather Dowd, a DLP mentor working with coaches in South Carolina and Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dowd describes coaching as a continuum between being what she calls a “consultant” and being a true coach. At the consultant end of the spectrum, the coach is often providing resources, giving tool suggestions, helping teachers implement a lesson using the tool, and reflecting with them on how it went. Many people feel more comfortable in the consultant role, Dowd says, because they feel useful. “The challenge comes in if you never transition to becoming a coach and helping them do some of it for themselves,” Dowd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/49491/when-coaching-teachers-has-curiosity-as-its-primary-goal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">True coaching\u003c/a>, like great teaching, is about helping the adult learner see the solution on their own. Dowd says she’s always pushing the coaches she mentors to “pause, paraphrase, and ask questions.” When a teacher brings up a challenge, rather than jumping in with a potential solution or tool, listening and asking probing questions can help the teacher come to a solution on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And since mentors are working with coaches at upwards of thirty schools across a region, they can play a connector role, sharing ideas between coaches in very different contexts. The DLP coaches meet regularly with their mentor online, but also participate in Google Hangouts with other coaches. It’s a community of support and idea sharing that makes the job less lonely and helps everyone improve. Some coaches in a region have even started visiting one another’s schools and meeting up in person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reflection is another key piece of this program. Coaches ask teachers to reflect on what worked and what didn’t, tracking progress on coaching dashboard developed specifically for DLP. But coaches also submit weekly reflections to their mentors, who give them feedback and comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are making bigger changes in their schools, bigger changes in terms of the meaningful use of technology -- not just using it -- faster than what I saw happen my first couple years as a coach,” Dowd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52657\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-52657\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/characteristsics-of-successful-coaching-800x687.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"687\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/characteristsics-of-successful-coaching-800x687.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/characteristsics-of-successful-coaching-160x137.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/characteristsics-of-successful-coaching-768x660.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/characteristsics-of-successful-coaching-960x825.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/characteristsics-of-successful-coaching-240x206.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/characteristsics-of-successful-coaching-375x322.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/characteristsics-of-successful-coaching-520x447.png 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/characteristsics-of-successful-coaching.png 986w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Digital Promise found six characteristics of a successful coaching program. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Digital Promise/\u003ca href=\"http://digitalpromise.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/DLP_Coaching_infographic_v1r9.pdf\">DLP Coaching Infographic\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE DYNAMIC LEARNING PROJECT?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we have made the case for how and why coaching can be a powerful means for continuous improvement,” Cator said. “Now we want to figure out how to systematize the most important parts of it and scale it up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its second year, DLP is working with 101 schools, up from the initial 50 in the first year.

Hopkin was looking for something that would bring a spirit of innovation into the teaching culture. He was looking for ways to push beyond the known. When a vice-president at a pharmaceutical company reached out to Hopkin offering to connect as a coach as part of his company’s local outreach Hopkin leapt at the chance. And through the process he was struck by how effective the coaching felt, and how applicable it was to a teaching context. The experience helped him settle on working to improve teaching practice at the school through a coaching model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our innovation was that we wanted to make teaching and learning better, but we wanted to be better at making teaching and learning better,” Hopkin said during a presentation on the coaching model his school uses at the \u003ca href=\"http://novemberlearning.com/blc-education-conference-2017/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Building Learning Communities\u003c/a> conference in Boston. That statement is both completely mundane, and the essential struggle of schools everywhere. Every school leader wants a sustainable, effective way to help teachers improve, but finding that process is much more difficult than it sounds because each teacher is an individual, with specific strengths and weaknesses. And every teacher reacts to change differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coaching model they devised is devoid of judgement. Coaches -- those with an interest in coaching and a senior or middle leadership role -- try to position themselves as thought partners for the teacher, starting before the lesson even happens.

That’s what makes this type of coaching different from the standard lesson observation leaders used to do. In a typical observation, the teacher doesn’t get any feedback until after the lesson is over, and then it usually feels evaluative. At the British International School of Shanghai, Hopkin and Solway are trying to create an experience among the staff that helps teachers notice their own teaching moves as they happen in the classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to get to a space where someone coming into your space isn’t the expert,” Hopkin said. “You as the teacher are still the expert with responsibility and control for your professional experience.” They didn’t want to follow a checklist of teaching practices or try to emulate the teaching approach of one star teacher. Instead, their goal was to help each teacher become a star in their own unique way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we tried to boil down what we were looking for -- it was helping our colleagues rediscover their curiosity,” Hopkin said. He wanted teachers asking themselves questions like: Why does my lesson go this way? Why don’t I like this kind of student? Why did this go so well? “We wanted them to see the world with awe and wonder,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironically, this focus on curiosity, learning mindsets, hands-on experiences, and reflection are exactly what teachers at this school offer to students. But they weren’t as comfortable engaging in the same process around their own professional learning. Hopkin hopes the coaching model he’s developing -- one based around partnership and shared responsibility between coach and teacher for the fate of the lesson -- will help teachers shift their mindsets about change.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nWHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopkin and Solway quickly found that they needed to be flexible with their colleagues, many of whom were uncomfortable with this new approach to teacher professional development. The two leaders wanted coaching sessions to be positive and supportive, personalized and teacher-centered, challenging and reflective, non-evaluative and retrievable. But they also knew many teachers had not experienced that type of coaching before and were wary of anything that seemed like an evaluation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What they’re getting is something that’s right for them not only in terms of what they should be working on, but also in how they like to learn and how they like to feel,” Hopkin said. He wants the experience to support teachers as they become even more independent and autonomous in their practice. To do that, he needed them to feel completely safe, so he made it very clear to the staff that nothing from coaching sessions would ever come up in annual reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one will take a risk if they feel like they will be kicked in the teeth for landing on their face when trying something new,” Hopkin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All coaching sessions start with a pre-lesson meeting when the coach and teacher talk about goals for the lesson and try to anticipate questions or obstacles that might arise. Together they practice how the teacher might address those scenarios. The coach videotapes the lesson with a camera mounted on a Swivel to track the teacher as he or she moves about the classroom. Depending on the teacher’s comfort with in-class coaching, the coach may also be in the room quietly offering observations or questions at the point of practice. For teachers who hate that idea, Hopkin and Solway offer asynchronous coaching based on the video footage. No matter which style of coaching happens, the coach and teacher meet again to reflect on what happened during the lesson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Solway coaches, she likes to flag moments in the video with voiceover, pointing out strong moments or areas where she noticed something. Sometimes she’ll offer resources to the teacher to help further their thinking on the goal they’ve identified. Solway says it’s important that if the lesson goes poorly the coach shares the blame, but if the lesson goes wonderfully, it’s best to give the teacher all the credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pre-lesson materials, video and reflection make the experience a retrievable one. Teachers can revisit the video or the notes on their own time. Hopkin admitted it took teachers time to get used to this coaching model and many were skeptical at first. Teachers were also at very different points in their professional learning. Some were already experimental, pushing beyond what felt comfortable regularly and wondering “what if” as a matter of practice. Others, needed more coaching on the nuts and bolts, with the coach continually referring back to a schoolwide “Teaching and Learning Principles” document.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those cases, Hopkin said “it’s an interplay between are we working on the basics or are we working on something more bespoke to you?” But because the coach is working to help teachers notice and correct course autonomously, he or she is often only asking questions and leaving space for the teacher to develop her own thought or next action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s painfully slow because you’re just going to ask questions that you want the teacher to ask themselves,” Hopkin said. This type of professional learning is akin to what many schools want teachers to provide students. Leaders at British International School of Shanghai learned that using the same teaching pedagogy with professional learners can be an effective way to shift instruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After one year of coaching in this way, Hopkin surveyed staff to see if they could substantiate how the coaching had improved their teaching. Teachers reported a 30 percent increase in their confidence, and they felt they were saving 40 percent of their time because they had to do less re-teaching. School leaders also looked at an array of measures like student grades and test scores, student interaction rates, questioning skill surveys, student attention rates, collaborative learning conversations, etc. to try and determine if the quality of learning had increased. Using information from teachers, students, and leaders they compiled those results and determined that the quality of learning increased by 70 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A WHOLE SCHOOL INNOVATION EFFECT\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the process of helping individual teachers embrace small innovations to their teaching, the school as a whole has become more able to embrace change. Before the coaching program began, the International School of Shanghai already had positive things happening, and Hopkin wanted to retain those experiences. But he also wanted to inspire innovation and he’s aware that “efficiency suffocates new thinking. The better you are at something the less likely you are to be open to something different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he framed the coaching sessions as little experiments, each in service of the broader school strategy. A teacher would make a hypothesis, experiment with it in the classroom, reflect on the insights garnered and how it connected to the larger community goals. The results of those experiments then became data points for broader decisions school leaders were considering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted to have a pioneering spirit from people who are well seated in the more traditional paradigm,” Solway said. They tried to allow teachers to move up and back along the innovation spectrum, with each person offering important insights to the learning community. They did not only celebrate the pioneering teachers, but also the pioneering spirit of very traditional ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“TeachMeets” are one way school leaders celebrate individual learning as a community. Any person who wants to share what they are working on and how it’s going can do so. The rest of the “audience” -- other colleagues -- move around to different speakers depending on what interests them. Multiple mini-presentations are going on at once, with the audience moving between them fluidly. This practice helped spread insights beyond grade-level or subject-specific teams. It creates a positive buzz in a staff meeting and individuals can follow up with questions afterwards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re looking for people to make that international statement of learning: aahh,” Hopkin said. If coaching can help stimulate curiosity in teachers to continue improving and trying new things, then it has done its job in his mind.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Leaders at the British International School in Shanghai are using a coaching model to help teachers develop individual lines of inquiry into their own teaching practice.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1602526416,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":26,"wordCount":1933},"headData":{"title":"When Coaching Teachers Has Curiosity As Its Primary Goal - MindShift","description":"Leaders at the British International School in Shanghai are using a coaching model to help teachers develop individual lines of inquiry into their own teaching practice.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"When Coaching Teachers Has Curiosity As Its Primary Goal","datePublished":"2017-10-30T07:17:44.000Z","dateModified":"2020-10-12T18:13:36.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"49491 https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/?p=49491","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2017/10/30/when-coaching-teachers-has-curiosity-as-its-primary-goal/","disqusTitle":"When Coaching Teachers Has Curiosity As Its Primary Goal","path":"/mindshift/49491/when-coaching-teachers-has-curiosity-as-its-primary-goal","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>How can school leaders push for innovation when every year 15 to 20 percent of the teaching staff turns over, along with a similar number of students?

Leaders at British International School of Shanghai learned that using the same teaching pedagogy with professional learners can be an effective way to shift instruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After one year of coaching in this way, Hopkin surveyed staff to see if they could substantiate how the coaching had improved their teaching. Teachers reported a 30 percent increase in their confidence, and they felt they were saving 40 percent of their time because they had to do less re-teaching. School leaders also looked at an array of measures like student grades and test scores, student interaction rates, questioning skill surveys, student attention rates, collaborative learning conversations, etc. to try and determine if the quality of learning had increased. Using information from teachers, students, and leaders they compiled those results and determined that the quality of learning increased by 70 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A WHOLE SCHOOL INNOVATION EFFECT\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the process of helping individual teachers embrace small innovations to their teaching, the school as a whole has become more able to embrace change. Before the coaching program began, the International School of Shanghai already had positive things happening, and Hopkin wanted to retain those experiences. But he also wanted to inspire innovation and he’s aware that “efficiency suffocates new thinking. The better you are at something the less likely you are to be open to something different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he framed the coaching sessions as little experiments, each in service of the broader school strategy. A teacher would make a hypothesis, experiment with it in the classroom, reflect on the insights garnered and how it connected to the larger community goals. The results of those experiments then became data points for broader decisions school leaders were considering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted to have a pioneering spirit from people who are well seated in the more traditional paradigm,” Solway said. They tried to allow teachers to move up and back along the innovation spectrum, with each person offering important insights to the learning community. They did not only celebrate the pioneering teachers, but also the pioneering spirit of very traditional ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“TeachMeets” are one way school leaders celebrate individual learning as a community. Any person who wants to share what they are working on and how it’s going can do so. The rest of the “audience” -- other colleagues -- move around to different speakers depending on what interests them. Multiple mini-presentations are going on at once, with the audience moving between them fluidly. This practice helped spread insights beyond grade-level or subject-specific teams. It creates a positive buzz in a staff meeting and individuals can follow up with questions afterwards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re looking for people to make that international statement of learning: aahh,” Hopkin said.

Administrators are trying to support teachers to push beyond their comfort zones and take risks. They're also fully aware of teachers' evaluation needs. To walk this line, administrators wanted to identify types of student behavior that would indicate work at the highest levels of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2014/06/22/take-action-verbs-that-define-blooms-taxonomy/\" target=\"_blank\">Bloom’s Taxonomy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In looking at what students are doing, it also provides the administrators the ability to collect data on whether students are actually getting to where we want them to be,” Hart said. “It’s evaluative of the program and whether it’s working.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hart identified some behaviors that indicate a well-run problem-based classroom:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Student are asking other students questions.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Students are brainstorming and identifying tools they can use to achieve their goal.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Students are dividing up work based on skill level and strengths, or based on where they want to learn themselves.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Student answers are accurate.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Students are going into depth on the project the teacher laid out.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Hart says these behaviors, among others, give an observer insight into a child’s \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/10/07/smart-strategies-that-help-students-learn-how-to-learn/\">metacognition\u003c/a> and demonstrate where that student is on the progression of problem solving and critical thinking skill development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often times those \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/tag/non-cognitive-skills/\">non-cognitive skills\u003c/a> are interstitial, showing up in how students organize themselves to complete the work. It’s not like content, which can be taught, because students build these skills through practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they figure out this stuff, they end up using very important communication and problem-solving skills,” Hart said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers can encourage problem solving and critical thinking by designing learning experiences that address the standards, but are ambiguous and loose enough in structure that kids have to figure out how to accomplish the task on their own. If a child is told exactly what elements to include, who to work with, and how to divide up his time, then he isn’t learning any of the process skills along the way. And, while not every student will successfully complete every challenge, all this work is taking place in a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2015/05/06/how-to-create-the-learning-community-project-based-learning-demands/\" target=\"_blank\">safe learning community \u003c/a>that gives students multiple chances to show growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What should administrators be looking for in the teacher of a collaborative problem-based classroom? Hart said in this kind of environment teachers should never directly answer a question if possible. Instead they can respond to student questions with their own questions, pushing the student to reflect, think deeper or find the information for himself. Observers can also look for how much students are interacting with each other, instead of with the teacher. It’s a continuum from all-eyes-on-teacher, to all students engaging with one another about the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CHANGE TAKES TIME AND EFFORT\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educators in White Mountains are excited by the changes they are seeing in their students and the energy for teaching showing up in the classroom. It hasn’t been easy, but the district has shown a long-term commitment to the process that’s slowly yielding results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our teachers have done a nice job of getting their feet wet and trying some pieces out,” said Michael Cronin, principal of Whitefield K-8 school. He doesn't expect to see every element in every lesson, but he expects to see them trying out different pieces. A big part of his job is to help teachers set goals for themselves and work with them through the awkward, uncomfortable moments that come with trying something new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hart applauds White Mountains administrators for their coaching approach to leadership. She draws an analogy to student learning. No teacher would expect a student to hear a lesson one time and then go and perform perfectly on a very high-stakes exam. And yet that’s what a lot of professional development for teachers looks like, unless a teacher has consistent coaching to work through issues as they arise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The average teacher moves into an awkward stage and then doesn’t have time to move through it,” Hart said.

Often times that means starting with the desired standards and working backwards to create a challenge question that doesn’t have one answer, but will inspire discussion after students research and analyze and present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We make assumptions about learning and they’re not always true,” Fensom said. “We talk about problem solving, but we fail to really demonstrate a model for problem solving.” Creating space for authentic problem solving and recognizing when it is happening is another area White Mountains administrators identified for further growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT TO LOOK FOR\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a training over the summer, administrators worked with problem-based learning coach Maura Hart, from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.antiochne.edu/acsr/\" target=\"_blank\">Antioch Center For School Renewal\u003c/a>, to define what critical thinking and problem solving look like -- the first step to identifying it in the classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re struggling with the idea that they are evaluators, while recognizing that coaching happens from a non-evaluative standpoint,” Hart said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district is committed to building on its approach and knows that teachers will need time to make the transition. Administrators are trying to support teachers to push beyond their comfort zones and take risks. They're also fully aware of teachers' evaluation needs. To walk this line, administrators wanted to identify types of student behavior that would indicate work at the highest levels of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2014/06/22/take-action-verbs-that-define-blooms-taxonomy/\" target=\"_blank\">Bloom’s Taxonomy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In looking at what students are doing, it also provides the administrators the ability to collect data on whether students are actually getting to where we want them to be,” Hart said. “It’s evaluative of the program and whether it’s working.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hart identified some behaviors that indicate a well-run problem-based classroom:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Student are asking other students questions.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Students are brainstorming and identifying tools they can use to achieve their goal.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Students are dividing up work based on skill level and strengths, or based on where they want to learn themselves.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Student answers are accurate.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Students are going into depth on the project the teacher laid out.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Hart says these behaviors, among others, give an observer insight into a child’s \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/10/07/smart-strategies-that-help-students-learn-how-to-learn/\">metacognition\u003c/a> and demonstrate where that student is on the progression of problem solving and critical thinking skill development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often times those \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/tag/non-cognitive-skills/\">non-cognitive skills\u003c/a> are interstitial, showing up in how students organize themselves to complete the work. It’s not like content, which can be taught, because students build these skills through practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they figure out this stuff, they end up using very important communication and problem-solving skills,” Hart said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers can encourage problem solving and critical thinking by designing learning experiences that address the standards, but are ambiguous and loose enough in structure that kids have to figure out how to accomplish the task on their own. If a child is told exactly what elements to include, who to work with, and how to divide up his time, then he isn’t learning any of the process skills along the way. And, while not every student will successfully complete every challenge, all this work is taking place in a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2015/05/06/how-to-create-the-learning-community-project-based-learning-demands/\" target=\"_blank\">safe learning community \u003c/a>that gives students multiple chances to show growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What should administrators be looking for in the teacher of a collaborative problem-based classroom? Hart said in this kind of environment teachers should never directly answer a question if possible. Instead they can respond to student questions with their own questions, pushing the student to reflect, think deeper or find the information for himself. Observers can also look for how much students are interacting with each other, instead of with the teacher. It’s a continuum from all-eyes-on-teacher, to all students engaging with one another about the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CHANGE TAKES TIME AND EFFORT\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educators in White Mountains are excited by the changes they are seeing in their students and the energy for teaching showing up in the classroom. It hasn’t been easy, but the district has shown a long-term commitment to the process that’s slowly yielding results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our teachers have done a nice job of getting their feet wet and trying some pieces out,” said Michael Cronin, principal of Whitefield K-8 school. He doesn't expect to see every element in every lesson, but he expects to see them trying out different pieces. A big part of his job is to help teachers set goals for themselves and work with them through the awkward, uncomfortable moments that come with trying something new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hart applauds White Mountains administrators for their coaching approach to leadership. She draws an analogy to student learning. No teacher would expect a student to hear a lesson one time and then go and perform perfectly on a very high-stakes exam. And yet that’s what a lot of professional development for teachers looks like, unless a teacher has consistent coaching to work through issues as they arise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The average teacher moves into an awkward stage and then doesn’t have time to move through it,” Hart said.
