finding my way

I didn’t feel like I did much coaching this week.  The coaching meetings I scheduled for Tuesday were derailed by staff meeting.  I visited classes virtually but had no real focus or purpose.  I purchased some coaching resources from Buzzing with Ms. B on Teachers Pay Teachers – super helpful! These helped get me organized and allowed me to have a real focus for next week’s class visits.

I crafted an email to send to teachers as a follow-up to our one on ones. Actually, I think I'd like to create several emails for different purposes.  This way, I'll only have to copy and pasted the text into the body of the emails.   I also am in the process of creating a Coffee with Coach Harvey form that has a menu of ways I can help them.  Hopefully, this will get them interested in working with me.  It's weird, but I kind of feel like I have to advertise my services to the teachers!

I started organizing my OneDrive to use as a kind of binder.  I was making copies of stuff and printing things when it dawned on me that this wasn’t the most efficient way to do virtual coaching!  I’ve started folders for each grade level and content area, as well as a schoolwide folder for lit team and schoolwide initiatives.  Working really hard at not feeling like I'm drowning!
