Explicit Direct Instruction to Teach Writing Classroom Coaching
 
A DataWORKS researcher goes into the classroom to observe and provide coaching to teachers while they teach lessons on writing to the students. Instructional leaders must attend to learn how to do Classroom Coaching to provide support for effective and ongoing implementation.

Why is Explicit Direct Instruction to Teach Writing Classroom Coaching valuable?
  The most important factor in student learning is the teacher in front of the classroom. Research has shown that no matter how well intentioned, effective staff development requires extensive monitoring, feedback, and coaching to facilitate effective implementation amongst all teachers.

Why is Explicit Direct Instruction to Teach Writing Classroom Coaching valuable?
 
A DataWORKS researcher goes into the classroom to observe and provide coaching to teachers while they teach lessons on writing to the students.
The principal schedules teachers for observations and provides this schedule in advance to DataWORKS. The teachers should be teaching the writing lessons already reviewed during the Lesson Plan Feedback day. The principal (and other administrators) must accompany and be trained to make observations and then continue to observe over additional days until all teachers are observed and provided coaching.
This process should be repeated until all teachers can effectively teach writing to all students.
