Adjustment to Methodology

I need to make an adjustment to my methodology. My intention was to work with the same 5 teachers throughout two 5-week coaching cycles. This has proved very difficult. As I switched from cycle 1 to cycle 2 the group of teachers I work with changed. I thought I would be able to continue to work with the first group of teachers just around their number talks but the scheduling is nearly impossible. They are now in a coaching cycle with the literacy coach and I need to be respectful of their time. I want this work to be meaningful and useful to them not a burden. As such I am now working with my new group of teachers around their number talks. I do not think this adjustment will be a problem as the process, no matter who I am working with, is informing my coaching.

    I agree with you--this shift should not have any influence on your question, since the focus is your coaching, not their teaching.
