What's next?

How a coaching team arrives at the creation of a playbook isn't what matters; what matters is that coaches know the high-impact strategies they are sharing and that they have the tools necessary to describe those strategies.

• Create an instructional playbook
• Formally bring a team together to design it
• Informally discuss with other coaches what should be included (might be developed over time during meetings)

Formal Review

At least twice per year, but preferable more frequently Meet with program director to discuss what is and isn't working AIR Questions 1) What's working with the strategies in the playbook? 2) What are we learning about the strategies in the playbook? 3) What refinements can be made to the strategies in the playbook? 4) What issues are not addressed but should be addressed by the strategies in the playbook? 5) What new strategies should we consider adding to the playbook? 6) What strategies either aren't working or aren't being used and thus should be removed from the playbook? 7) How well does the playbook align with district initiatives? Does the playbook need to change? Do district leaders need to hear anything about district initiatives? 8) What else can we do to make the playbook simpler or more useful? 9)What ewlse should we do to improve the playbook?

Reflection Questions

1) Do you think you and your colleagures need to create an instructional playbook? Why or why not? 2) What strategies do you think should be included in the playbook? 3) When has the "curse of knowledge" made it difficult for you to explain a strategy? 4) Which elements of the one-pager do you think should be kept? What would you add to or remove from the one-pager? 5) When have you witnessed somone explain a straregy with false clarity? 6) What is your initial reaction to the idea of a checklist? 7) Should you create a process to ensure the playbook is continously improved? Why or why not?
