4. Describe your Coaching

3/11 Presented through powerpoint, The Framing Routine which followed an agenda from 9-11:30.  This also included time to brainstorm ideas for topics to explore with a frame and to decide what format of the frame to use, essential content, etc.

3/23 My student submitted a draft of her frame along with her device checklist.  I also completed a device checklist at that time.

4/3 Met with my student to provide feedback regarding the draft Frame and brainstorm ways to go through the Framing routine during her teaching.

6/18 Student presented the Framing routine, as drafted then completed her implementation checklist

7/2 I reviewed her video of implementation, completed my implementation checklist and met with my trainer by email on the week of 7/6.

7/20 My student and I met by zoom to discuss our completed implementation checklists, the "review" portion of the cue, do, and review steps and I provided feedback and sections in the book to reread and plan questions for the review step.  Additional details of coaching in attached document above.

I met with the district MS ES teacher on 11.15.19 and observed delivery of a Science lesson. Typical lesson delivery has included students reading from the text and then answering questions on a worksheet. Mr R and I discussed some alternatives to this lesson format to promote student engagement and potentially higher levels of content mastery. Each of the SIM routines had been reviewed with the district team / classroom teacher during training sessions held during the 18-19SY. Based on a brief review of each of the available routines, it was mutually agreed upon that the FRAME would be a reasonable choice for extending learning in this content area / Science. The FRAME is designed to assist students to organize topics, main ideas, and details while completing reading assignments. 

The chapters in the text currently being used in the Science class are divided into 3-4 sections. The FRAME with Key Topic / Main Idea / Essential Details sections aligns with the structure and format of this particular text. Organizing the content for students has the potential to enhance mastery by connecting ideas under meaningful headings, i.e., Main Ideas and Essential Ideas. The FRAME can also be used to help students think and talk about the key topics and important information relative to the topics.   

A DRAFT FRAME has been prepared for delivery and use with students on 12.9.19. The FRAME has been forwarded to Mr R for review. **DRAFT FRAME posted separately.
