Instructional coaching cycle GROW model

Structure a coaching cycle with a teacher using the GROW model. 1. Goal (Pre-observation meeting): Coach and teacher collaborate to set a specific, measurable goal for the lesson. (e.g., 'I want to increase student talk time to 60%'). 2. Reality (Observation): Coach observes the lesson, collecting data specifically related to the goal (e.g., tracking teacher vs. student talk time). 3. Options (Post-observation debrief): Coach shares data. They brainstorm multiple strategies to achieve the goal. ('What could you do differently? What have you tried before?'). 4. Way Forward (Action Plan): Teacher chooses one strategy to implement. Coach and teacher define what success looks like and schedule the next observation. This non-evaluative, teacher-centered approach fosters trust and growth.
