Classroom management is one of the most challenging topics to coach. Every teacher has a different style and we've all had different experiences that lead to a different approach. And coaching in a classroom where there isn't a solid approach to management is extra stressful.

In this episode, Haley O'Connor of Teaching with Haley and I talk about what makes classroom management effective and how to support teachers in embracing a new approach to management.

Too many PLCs could have been an email. It's the truth right? Sometimes administrators use PLCs as times to disseminate information to teachers without any real "community" aspect. Instead of holding PLCs that impact no one and change nothing, instructional coaches can follow this seven-step process for creating PLCs that work!

Learn about why norms are so important, how to set an accountability piece for follow-up, and how to get the most out of data and learning PLCs!
