🎙Engagement in Action — Episode 2: See It. Name It. Do It. Coaching in Real Time #201
Episode 2 breaks down the “See It. Name It. Do It.” coaching cycle from Get Better Faster and shows how leaders can deliver high-impact, real-time feedback that quickly improves teacher practice and student engagement.
Perfect for principals, APs, instructional coaches, and leaders looking to build confidence in coaching cycles and classroom walk-throughs.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- Real-Time Feedback Builds Faster Growth
You don’t need a full post-conference to make change — micro-feedback works. - Observe for Engagement, Not Just Instruction
Zero in on what students are doing — that’s your coaching target. - Use the Feedback Formula: See It → Name It → Do It
Clear, specific, and practiced feedback is what moves the needle. - Practice Matters More Than Telling
Don’t leave without a rehearsal — even a 30-second one creates muscle memory.
