We developed the following questions to be asked of the IC’s, Teachers, EBI Coaches, Principals, etc. Most are generic enough that they can be asked of any of the cohorts.

1. How does this work align /fit into your School Improvement Plan?

2. What schoolwide needs has this work addressed?

3. What positive effects have you seen from your work?

4. Based on your experience, what is the greatest need you see?

5. What do you propose for next steps?

6. As you reflect on this year’s coaching experience, what will have the greatest impact on student learning? Follow up with, “Tell me more.”

Specific for classroom teachers:


 * 1) Please reflect on what has been the most helpful thing that coaching has provided to you during this interaction?
 * 2) As you reflect, which parts of the coaching process do you think should be continued?
 * 3) What suggestions do you have to improve the coaching process?
 * 4) How has your teaching changed as a result of your interaction with your IC?

Specific for EBI coaches:
 * 1) What did you discover as you worked with schools to help them choose an EBI?
 * 2) What suggestions do you have for the future?

Random Thoughts!!!

Possible plan Theory of action Interview with data coach _what is your job, what do you do EBI selection – what is it how do you look for it Bits and pieces from power point from the school in Detroit Regional support Instructional coach Group of EBI trainers Todd Johnson, Mary Smith, Darlene Schoolmaster

Tie to theory of action

If a school digs into data Selects an EBI Utilizes coach then student achievement should increase!
