Coaching cycle tier identification
A teacher's comprehensive score for each indicator can be translated to the following rating scale to determine next steps. Borderline points do not round up.
Teachers can be fluid between the tiers. For example, a teacher could be in Tier 1 for Classroom Culture and Management but move to tier 2 for Scholar Engagement. We should support teachers where they are and develop the whole teacher over the course of the year. Each year, teachers start the coaching cycle process over, beginning with the first domain, because each year's class presents its own unique challenges.

- Enter in the PLA Coaching Conversation section of the platform within 24 hours of the observation.
- Include resources, videos, and pictures.
How do you proceed through the rest of the domains?
- Some domains are far more important than others (NEVER SKIP: Culture and Behavior Management for new teachers, Scholar Engagement, Level 1 Instructional Execution, and Level 2 Instructional Execution), Reading Advantage, and Math Advantage.
- Use the rubric to identify critical attributes for each indicator.
- You should ALWAYS calibrate each domain as a leadership team prior to working through the domain.
