How To Start

Peer Coaching Example: How to question and follow-up

1. Overview

I want to work on my questioning and follow-up skills. My lesson is on the use of a factoring tree for prime numbers.

I would like you to observe my lesson with the students and listen for me using open-ended questions that encourage the students to answer questions that demonstrate their thinking skills. The next thing that I want you to look for is my usage of wait time. I want to make sure that I ask a question and not call on the first student who raises his/her hand. Finally, I want you to look for my follow-up activity that will elicit responses from the students in order for me to check for a transfer of knowledge.

2. How often did the teacher use wait-time before calling on students for answers?
3. Did I use a follow-through activity at the end and did the students demonstrate a transfer of knowledge from the activity?
