Coaching Questions
Wednesday January 29, 2025 4:55pm - 5:30pm PST
Zoom Meeting Link
Meeting ID: 322 306 8678 no password

This session introduces a partnered task designed to promote problem-solving, critical thinking, and student accountability—regardless of a student’s current level of understanding. In pairs, students alternate between the roles of “teacher” and “student,” with the “teacher” guiding the process using pre-set coaching questions and provided answers. This structure ensures that both partners can engage meaningfully, even if they don’t know the answer upfront. You'll walk away with a ready-to-use strategy that builds collaboration, encourages independent thinking, and supports deeper learning in any classroom.

Stations around the classroom can be an effective way to engage students, provide targeted instruction, and elevate student choice. While our elementary counterparts are well-versed in the use of stations, secondary teachers may be a little less familiar with station models. Come and consider how you might incorporate this into your classroom!
