Implementation planning involves stating a specific time, place, and cue to remember to make the change. We chat about the need for social accountability and feedback in the rehearsal process. Josh suggests starting with group rehearsal in professional development sessions and gradually moving towards individual rehearsal. The goal is to create a culture of continuous improvement in teaching.TakeawaysRehearsal and implementation planning are critical components of teacher development.Rehearsal involves modelling, deconstructing, and planning a desired teaching technique.Implementation planning includes stating a specific time, place, and cue to remember to make the change.Social accountability and feedback are important in the rehearsal process.Start with group rehearsal in professional development sessions and gradually move towards individual rehearsal.Create a culture of continuous improvement in teaching.Sound Bites"Rehearsal and implementation planning are critical components of teacher development.""Implementation planning involves stating a specific time, place, and cue to remember to make the change.""Social accountability and feedback are important in the rehearsal process."Click here to get a copy of Josh’s book, Responsive Coaching.Thank you for tuning in, and as always, if you found this episode useful, please share your experience.
