1. Formal coaching involves the coach working directly with classroom teachers and students to improve instruction and increase learning. It occurs over a set period of time through modeling lessons, co-teaching, and providing feedback. 2. The process includes pre-conferences to plan lessons focused on student outcomes, observing or co-teaching the lesson, and post-conferences to reflect on success and plan next steps. 3. The coach will document the effectiveness of formal coaching through teacher self-assessments before and after, benchmarking selected students, and reflective journaling on successes and areas for improvement.
