Coaching isn’t about fixing teachers. It is about partnership. @SweeneyDiane it’s collaboration, questioning, conversation, listening, horizontal alignment with teacher, curriculum, students, coach #SCCoaching21

Conference learning=tweeting @SCCoaching21 @SweeneyDiane

Formative assessment is a process not a product! Involve the students in the process. They help build success criteria. #IL21C @bloomberg_paul #ImpactTeams
