Instructional Coaching Model

Travis Bender, a fellow teacher at Oak Mountain, asked me to aid him in the instruction of his students in using Google Forms to make self and class quizzes as well as studyguides that students can use to prepare for tests.  The first thing that I told him to do as a pre assessment was to have the students each make a 5 question quiz on their own on the material that they were currently covering in class. We would then look at the quizzes that they had created and talk about the good, the bad and the ugly and discuss what kind of improvements they would like to make to their quizzes.  Next we would make some goals that we wanted to achieve in the next few days including making a good 10 question quiz that is about the material that the class is covering at the time and using all of these quizzes to compile a class studyguide. Then Mr. Bender and I would make preparation as to how to best achieve this goal and reserve the chromebook carts so that we know we have enough devices in the classroom for each student.  Next we would for the next few days implement our plan that we had come up with and help the students along the way. At the end of each day we would reflect on how our progress and see if there are any changes that need to be made. We would make our adjustments and then help students improve their quizzes. When we had a good bank of quizzes we would then compile the quizzes into a studyguide for the class to use. Finally once we were done with the instruction Mr. Bender and I would sit down to talk about we had done and see if there where any changes that would need to be made if we did it again.
