This coaching cycle was designed to set teachers up for success. The beauty of it is, there is a reflective piece built in. That sometimes is the key to bettering our practice as educators because let’s face it, sometimes there just doesn’t seem like there is enough time to get it all done. In organized learning using the coaching cycle, here are different types of reflective practice:
• Reflection in action (in the moment and improvising)
• Reflection on action (after the fact on specific episodes)
• Reflection about action (looking at the big picture)
