Activity 1: Showcasing Your Coaching Work
===You will have 5 minutes to showcase a lesson you and your cooperating teacher have been working on with the rest of the group. As you talk about your work, remember to share these four things:===
 * ====The main features of each section of your improved lesson.====
 * ====What you consider to be the greatest strengths of your lesson.====
 * ====Places where you could use some help making continued improvements.====
 * ====As coaches, the learning you have gained through this collaborative lesson improvement process.====

==Activity 2: WoWs and Wonders Protocol [|Wows_and_Wonder_Protocol_Examine_Our_Work.doc]== This protocol is designed to help coaches gain understanding about their work, to promote reflective practice, and to learn from each other. The protocol can be used to examine student work or educator practice. We will use this protocol when a few of you share your experiences you wrote about in the Coaches Corner Discussion forum.

**Preparing for our final online work:**

 * Continue to meet with your collaborating teacher working on lesson improvement and technology integration. You should follow your teacher through the complete coaching cycle which includes reflecting on how the lesson went and assessing any changes needed. Add artifacts of your coaching experience to your team page.**

Prepare and post to your team page on the wiki an example of an improved lesson that was the result of a successful coaching collaboration with your collaborating teacher. You may use the Lesson Improvement Template [|Lesson Improvement Template.doc]to highlight specific elements that improved as a result of the collaboration. Post the lesson, the improvement analysis and the description of your collaboration (see Coaching Collaboration Activity below) to your team page on the wiki. These will be used in a protocol based discusssion through our online collaboration. Your team page is similar to a portfolio and should capture and highlight your work as a coach. Feel free to make it your own. Coaching Collaboration Activity Each Coach will write a description of a successful coaching collaboration that resulted in the improved lesson.
