Barry Parker is coaching his co-teacher Mr. Newton, who teaches geometry. In their first coaching session, they discussed goals and picked increasing student vocabulary. Their plan was to use a checklist to ensure all students were asked about lesson concepts. In their second session, they planned to have Mr. Newton implement a Quizizz strategy after observing Barry use it. Their third session showed improvement in student vocabulary after implementing the strategy twice a week with review of missed terms. Their final goal is 80% accuracy on Quizizz vocabulary checks.

I have signed up my co-teacher for my coaching assignments. His name is Mr. Newton and he is new to our school. He is very helpful and is eager for feedback when possible. He is older and has been teaching longer than I have so it seems weird for me to be coaching him. I have mentioned to him to think about what changes he would like to see in the classroom. The classes that we will be looking at and working with are Geometry classes. Classes have about 30 students with Mr. Newton and I as co-teachers.
Entry 2: Experience of first coaching session
My first coaching session went very well I think. Mr. Newton and I had a few discussions before making our video. I really like the questions that we had to follow from the Impact cycle made the coaching process easier. I think we have picked a good goal to increase student vocabulary in the math classroom. Our plan is to use a check list to sure that we ask all students about what we are learning.
Entry 3: Entry about the second coaching session
In this coaching session Mr. Newton and I planned out how we were going to reach our goal. I had to adjust our first plan to include a little bit more technology, but Mr. Newton had a great idea to use Quizizz. We planned for him to see me using the strategy in class first then he will implement the strategy. We used a check list to show what the teacher and students should be doing while the strategy is being implemented. Hopefully we will see an increase in students vocabulary knowledge. Entry 4: Entry about third coaching session LAST JOURNAL ENTRY!!! Practicing coaching for the first time has been very exciting. In our last meeting after we implemented our strategy we saw improvement in our students’ vocabulary. We are going to continue to use Quizizz in warm ups twice a week. Mr. Newton also added that when we look at the data we will instantly go over any vocabulary that is missed by more than 50% of the class. Our final goal is to get our students to 80% accuracy on our Quizizz vocabulary checks.
