Matt+H+-+Great+Falls+Collaboration

What a great week of collaboration we have had.
(Please take a workshop-ending survey so we can improve this training! Thanks.)

I have great hopes for and confidence in these Montana Facilitators (and Coaches).

Lorinda, Trina, Jeannette, and "the 3 Sues": Sue Mepham, Sue Stanton, and Sue Lorang.
Jeannette -- Skype-ing in from Colstrip (as she prepares to go to Uruguay !! Sunday to give a presentation on technology integration), Billings and points in between -- joined us as we


 * Worked on coaching skills, lesson improvement, and tech integration
 * Shared ideas around teaching, learning and technology integration
 * Practiced protocols
 * Got to know the Peer Coaching content in new and different ways...
 * Discussed how we might guide a Peer Coaching training (here is one tool -- [|S6-7-8plan.doc] -- that I shared with the group, so they could see one tool that one facilitator | trainer uses to guide a training)
 * Watched videos that showed coaching in many contexts
 * And had a great time.

Here is one of the videos we viewed and assessed in light of School-Based Professional Development Standards. (We thought they did pretty well. What do you think?) Enjoy!
