The peer coaches have signs on their doors showing instructional strategies that they use a lot in their classrooms. If the sign is green, feel free to stop in and watch these strategies in action. This is another way to help you focus on strategies for your peer observations. Ifthere is something you would like to see and don't know where to look, please come see me or an instructional coach for ideas.
