Planning with the New Educators

Planning with the New Educator can be held when there is no intention of following up with an observation. The sole purpose, in this instance, can be simply to plan a lesson, unit, or map out a semester or course. When planning with a New Educator before an observation it is important to ask the following questions.

  • What are the students suppose to know and be able to do?
  • How are the objectives related to the State Standards.
  • How will student progress be measured?
  • What will the New Educator do?
  • What will the students do?
  • How will the assessments be used to adjust the lesson or re-teach the lesson?

While an observation after the lesson may not be necessary, I would suggest a discussion afterward. This is a great time for the Coach to be a listener.
