As a leader operate at many levels:

Team TAI

Personal TAI - need alignment and line up to strategic plan

Need systems and processes put in place for this to occur

Coach is listening can paraphrase or clarify.

Giving them the space people can come to the answer themselves if you can give them time to talk by above ideas.

Listen well if in the role of paraphrasing. When present with someone in an authentic way a personal way genuine and helps them come up with the solution themselves.

Slide 26:

Coaching 

What is the evidence & How can we collate it? When looking at TAI and team Observations.

Take a video of the teacher and give them time to look at the video footage so they make their own decisions.

• Evidence could be student voice: 
• Keep it real and give it deep questions so get what you need depending on hunch? 
• Swivel. Could use student leaders to gather evidence. 
• Student work
• Achievement data
• modelling books/planning
• video from their phone or ipad - tell me what you noticed to what your goal was? 

VIDEO of what is going on in the background - video of practise then video the coaching conversation then could have a video of yourself as a coach to see how you went.

Agreed purpose and 

Used in the past for a good SMART goal.
