Meet with the teacher to build a repertoire with her. When coaching teachers, it's important to establish a trusting relationship. She needs to feel comfortable enough to open up to you. Lightly touch on the subjects of differentiation and integration. Discuss how differentiation treats each student as an individual learner, and that integration incorporates technology or combines more than one subject into one lesson plan. Get a feel for what she already knows about these topics.
Set up meeting times throughout the school week. This needs to be a time where the teacher has anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to meet with you. In the beginning, the teacher may request to meet more often. Since you are coaching differentiation and integration, more than once a week may be necessary. When focusing on differentiation and integration, the teacher creates new goals each day. She will need your guidance frequently.
Ask her what she is doing in the classroom when it pertains to differentiation and integration. You should hear things like, "I'm setting up centers so students can choose their own method of learning the lesson objective." If you aren't go back and discuss what differentiation and integration is again. If she is on target, if there is any way she can improve her methods, or if there are other methods she would like to try. Remember, as a coach, you can't offer her direct advice. Help her come up with her own ways to accomplish her ideas.
Listen as she speaks. As a coach, it's important that you listen to the teacher. With each meeting, ask the teacher if she thinks differentiation and integration is working well in her classroom. Ask her to be specific, to give examples and how the students scores are reflecting what she says. Be sure to actively listen to her. Keep notes as you talk. You need to know exactly what she is doing and why she is doing it.
Have her think about ways she would like to further develop differentiation and integration in her classroom. Part of a coach's job is to help the teacher improve. Though you aren't supposed to offer suggestions as a coach, you can ask her specific questions that will get her to think about things that will work for her. For instance, asking "How do could you tweak that to make it more individualized?" will help her come up with ideas to differentiate a learning activity for her students.
Follow-up frequently with the teacher. Each meeting should include: whether or not goals were met, if student scores are improving and how she is incorporating differentiation and integration into her lessons. You should see her using centers, portfolio assessments, multisensory activities, various educational software, reading groups and any other strategy that helps each student improve his or her individual learning. It is alright to describe another teacher you've been helping who has experienced positive results with a strategy they've used. This is really the only way you can offer advice or give suggestions based on the educational content.
