Here are 15 questions I love to ask my teachers to reflect on a deeper level and learn more about them. After trial and error, I’ve found these particular questions have yielded really meaningful conversation. (These may be hard to read because I had to take a screenshot of a pdf)

Kristie Pretti-Frontzak is another one of my favorites. I know the page mentions Pre-K, but her “Superpowers Self Assessment” and “Emotional Quotient Quiz for Leaders” are great reflection tools for all teachers (and administrators). I love to start with the Superpowers Self-Assessment because it’s empowering for teachers and starts things out with the strengths they’re bringing to the table both in and out of the classroom.

Has anyone ever used the will/skill matrix? This has definitely helped me with motivation style and how to better engage some of the teachers I coach. Lots of concrete examples of how to set teachers up for success!

Has anyone recently made the switch to in house and now feel unorganized and less productive than when billing hours? For what it is worth, I’ve received good reviews and my superiors seems to be pleased with my work. Litigation was just so task based because of needing to hit billables, so without that requirement I feel a little like a fish out of water.

Our teachers will be returning to our school building as usual (about 10 days before school starts) whether school is virtual or face to face, so our school is wanting to plan a traditional welcome back for them. In the past, the celebration was usually a whole school group event at on off-campus locale. Unfortunately, with social distancing, etc., it makes it quite difficult to do the big gathering. Just wondering what other schools may be planning to welcome back their teachers. Suggestions??
