Monthly Collaboration Log Resources

Coaches use the Monthly Collaboration Log as a tool to guide their teachers through coaching questions to self-reflect upon areas of growth, goals to intentionally move forward, and reflection upon the growth made. Coaches will document plans for growth opportunities, the evidence of the growth that took place, as well as steps the coach can take to support their teacher. Below are resources coaches may utilize for support throughout this process. (For the Google Doc version of the Monthly Collaboration Log, click here.)
