Transcripts
so let's switch gears a little bit and
talk about the comprehension
conversation for this book so tell me
about what you wanted students to focus
on when you brought them back for
discussion at its core observation and
feedback is about coaching teachers to
improve student learning Carlos goes
camping I wanted them to make a
connection in this feedback meeting Asia
starts her deep dive with a precise
question what was the objective of her
lesson once she has done that Asia uses
video of a master teacher who did the
same lesson that Christy had done
earlier watch how Asia uses this video
clip to help Christie identify her
weaknesses so I have a video of chidel
okay and she starts off the
comprehension conversation with a retail
okay so she has a very clear focus and I
want us to note what her focus is and
see if we can pull pull that out from
her conversation with the students but
additionally I want you to notice how
she begins that conversation with the
group as you notice before showing the
video and after showing the video Asia
asks a targeted question to focus
christe on what she's watching all right
let's come
together yeah she's flying away from
that cat but what did she do before she
flew away from the cat okay so we'll
stop her right there okay so what do you
what did you notice about the way chadel
opened up that that comprehension
conversation opened it up saying pretend
like I've never read this story so that
I open it up so that they had to include
all the details of the story as if she's
never read it Asia gives christe the
opportunity to debrief each item that
she has watched in this way christe is
doing the thinking increasing her
ability to identify the components of
effective teaching and to identify the
weaknesses in her own retelling it
shidel chimed in with questions as those
points were brought up so now thinking
about the all the moves that chidel made
there she said how do you think she felt
why do you think that what in the story
makes you think that so she used a lot
of the really generic step promps
exactly to get the student to that to
change her thinking from she was
surprised to scared which was the more
valid answer right um but also to make
connections to help her better
understand the text so now think about
that in comparison to the opening moves
for the comprehension discussion that we
that I saw today yes so in this
comprehension discussion I can start
with the retail instead of making them
separate um instead of coming right to
the connection I can start with the
retail and as the retail progresses as
you can see here Asia summarizes what
christe has seen and then asks her to
compare that to her own
teaching what's the power of this
approach christe is articulating her own
action steps and developing an eye for
Effective teaching Asia could have just
told Christie what to do but she
wouldn't have internalized why this is
so important in this final part Asia
makes sure that christe applies this by
putting the key actions right into her
upcoming lesson we have moved from
talking about Improvement to directly
changing instruction so let's actually
go into your plan and script out how how
this might look
okay
