PEER POACHING DOCUMENTATION FORM

Poaching To take or use something as ones own according to Merriam Webster

Peer Poaching is a staff development opportunity that occurs within a school when one teacher observes
another to gather instructional information for the purpose of improving their own instructional practices.
Colleagues are observed during a planning period, and poached ideas are recorded, along with date, time,
and duration of the observation. Teacher being observed initials the form. You put it in your Professional
Development Portfolio.

DATE: April 2017 TIME BEGAN: 10:00 TIME ENDED: 10:20

LESSON TOPIC:
Daily 5/ Being a Reader (small group instruction)

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY (S) OBSERVED:

Being a Reader small group instruction:
Ms. Ana Mercedes worked with a group of 5 students. Each student had a white board and a
marker. They started the lesson with a phonological awareness activity. Then, Ms. Ana
Mercedes introduced a spelling sound. Students were asked to read decodable words and
Ms. Ana Mercedes then introduced some high-frequency words. They ended the lesson with
a guided spelling activity.

NOTABLE PROCEDURES OR MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES:

Students were working on a Daily 5 activity while Ms. Ana Mercedes was working on the
kidney table with a small group of kids in reading. Students working on Daily 5 knew the
procedures: start working right away, stay in one spot, work quietly.
The students that worked with Ms. Ana Mercedes were on task. They knew the procedures
for the different tasks.

I PLAN ON POACHING (trying in my classroom):

-Continue working on Daily 5
-Being a Reader program next year
