Harry & Rosemary Wong: Effective Teaching The Lasting Impact of Instructional Coaching Although this article is about the coach, David Ginsburg, it is more about the word that describes what type of coach he is—an instructional coach. How teachers instruct will determine how well and how much students learn. Instruction is defined by Robert Marzano as, “It is what gets taught.” Cause-Effect Coaching David uses a “cause-effect coaching” method. The purpose is to show the teacher that the students may not be the cause of why the students are not learning. True, many kids come from a poverty-stricken and dysfunctional family, but that is not something a teacher can change or do anything about. The cause-effect concept was shown in the original work on classroom management by Jacob Kounin. David says, “School leaders and teachers must always examine how their actions or inactions may be creating barriers or creating enhancements to learning.” It’s what a teacher does that affects student learning and that is what David coaches.
ED Teacher's Guide to International Collaboration on the Internet-- Pg 10 Experienced teachers will advise that you and your classroom start by getting involved in an existing project online, rather than trying to start a project of your own. Participating in other projects is a great way to meet other potential partners, and learn about the many different projects initiated by teachers and students throughout the world. It can be a great way to develop ideas for how to integrate collaborative projects into your classroom, without having to take on the role of facilitating the involvement of other classes your first time participating. As you begin participating in other projects, you will soon find that you have global colleagues and peers to turn to should you wish to coordinate a project of your own in the future. In this way, your classroom truly becomes a global community member that can draw on the breadth of a network as your classroom develops throughout the year. Project Planning and Direction. Making Networked Projects. Finding Partners.
