#TLC2024

Flashback to #TLC2024. What an honor it was to speak at this conference and meet Jim Knight in person. My session, Coaching Teachers Who Don't Want to Be Coached was standing room only 😁. #GetEngagedCoaching

Absolutely unbelievable to meet @JimKnight99 here in New Orleans at #TLC2024– the resources his team have pulled together can’t help but enrich coaching practice. Plus I found out I’m on his list of deep thinkers, and that he disagrees w me abt the Isaacs’ book on dialogue 🤯

Amazing to meet & learn from @SCottinghatt here at #TLC2024– considering the intersections of coach & coachee’s mental models thru artifacts of practice like video & thru dialogic practice (enter: interactive alignment account). Her blog is on fire lately https://cognitivecoaching.substack.com/

Haili Hughes & Sarah Cottinghatt’s session at #TLC2024 on using video for coaching reveals mechanisms for effective PD— knowledge, motivation, technique & practice. And speaks to the instructional leadership challenge of getting a clear picture of teaching reality

Dr Christopher Emdin bringing the enthusiasm this morning at #TLC2024– Reminds us Nola is the birthplace of ratchet, that coaching is bidirectional (dialogic anyone?), and you’ve gotta be your authentic self to perform educational change

Kate Murphy and Jim Knight chat on listening at #TLC2024. Kate says it’s “amazing how we sync up like that” in convo— shoutout interactive alignment. Also— love to hear “don’t yuck someone’s yum” in a coaching context

Steve Barkley’s session on coaching at #TLC2024 has me reflecting on talk moves and confirmatory paraphrase. His advice to not share what you’re thinking until you know what they’re thinking is salient— and very difficult to apply
