Reflection/Insight

In whole-campus trainings, think about what

the practice will look like, how it will be
structured, and what action steps and planning
teachers can take and implement between the
session and the next instructional day. Look for
strong examples and variations of Cold Call,
Precise Praise, and Going Formal in
walkthroughs in order to generate buy-in and
highlight bright spots on campus. Present
TLaC Go as an ongoing way to catch TLaC
