Elevate your Math Coaching and Leadership Skills with the power of the Proactive Coaching Framework - where context meets content for intentional professional growth!
Reflecting on their own work as mathematics leaders, Baker and Knapp believe that shifts in instructional practice should center on both the context of one's position and the related mathematics content. In Proactive Mathematics Coaching: Bridging Content, Context, and Practice, they introduce the Proactive Coaching Framework- PCF - to help those in formal and informal mathematics leadership positions intentionally refine and advance their practice through goal setting and planning for professional learning.
Topics include:
- The Purpose of the Proactive Coaching Framework
- Guiding Questions
- Mathematics Coaching Practices Cases
- Coteaching
- Modeling Instruction
- Examining Student Work
- Engaging in Mathematics
- Engaging in Lesson Study, Math Lab, and Math Studio
- Rehearsing Aspects of Practice
Drawing on a set of 33 Guiding Questions, the PCF prompts you to intentionally plan and reflect on your actions so that you can make instructional decisions that are proactive rather than reactive. Proactive decision-making helps mathematics leaders like yourself promote the intentional design of professional learning experiences and plan courageous conversations focused on instructional improvement!
