  2. The Definition “Peer partnering is a confidential process through which two or more professional colleagues work together to reflect on current practices; expand, refine, and build new skills; share ideas; teach one another; conduct classroom research; or solve problems in the workplace.” How to Plan and Implement a Peer Coaching Program by Pam Robbins

  3. Our Purpose To create small content teams of teachers (2 or 3 teachers) within our PLC to support, collaborate, observe, reflect on practice, refine lessons, share ideas, and aid each other in planning and implementing strategic lessons in your classroom. Our Focus To engage and empower students in their own learning by planning and implementing strategic lessons in every classroom.

  5. Peer Partnering with your Thinking Partners Designate a group facilitator. Read each chuck and code the text (use provided coding key, only the key is necessary) when directed to do so. Discuss that chunk within your group. Be prepared to share your thoughts whole group. • The Pre-Conference • The Observation • The Post Conference Excerpt from How to Plan and Implement a Peer Coaching Program by Pam Robbins

  6. The Tool for the Observed Teacher • Praise: What went well? Be specific as you identify aspects of the teaching-learning process that you believe were effective. What evidence led you to these conclusions? How do these behaviors relate to strategic teaching? • Question: Questions you have—aspects of the class or lesson you’re wondering about for which a 3rd-party observer might have insights. • Polish: How can you build on identified strengths? In which areas would you like to change or improve? What ideas do you have for learning and developing in the identified areas?

  7. The Tool for the Observer • Praise: What went well? Be specific as you identify aspects of the teaching-learning process that you believe were effective. What evidence led you to these conclusions? What specific, authentic praise can you offer the observed teacher in relation to strategic teaching? • Question: What questions do you have about the lesson or the students in the class that you observed? What are you curious about? What needs clarification? • Polish: Suggestions and ideas for consideration. How can the observed teacher build on identified strengths? In which areas might the observed teacher wish to focus learning and improvement? (Ideally, these suggestions will be framed as questions; for example, “What might happen if . .? How do you think your students would react to . . .?, etc.)
