S4E19: Thinking Out Loud… Is Rehearsal Necessary for Effective Coaching and PD?

I am excited to bring you an episode of the Thinking Out Loud series with my friend, Gene Tavernetti, who is cross posting these episodes on his podcast, Better Teaching Only Stuff that Works.

During the episode, we talk about “rehearsal tasks”, which are simply practice opportunities that a coach or presenter can plan for teachers. During the podcast, I bring you some examples of rehearsal tasks that are built into a PD platform called Steplab:

I encourage you to book a demo of Steplab and see it for yourself. Many overwhelmed principals might not be aware that a platform exists to scaffold and support their instructional leadership. Instructional coaches have largely improvised coaching without the help of a bank of techniques and a coaching engine. Just e-mail hello@steplab.co and they’ll get you started.
