Coaching Report Cards (The first "wave")

So this is my first entry in my Instructional Tech Coach (ITC) blog, and it's about coaching report cards.

I gleaned this idea from a guy at CUE. In short, send out a Google Form with some questions regarding my performance to see where I can improve. And yes, as a form-filler, you can remain anonymous. So yesterday, I sent out the form, and I only got two responses back. Hopefully I get more, but as of now, it's looking kind of bleak.

One of my responses was quite nice. All 4's. The teacher left his name. It made me feel nice.

Another one was not as great. I got a good amount of 4's, but I got 2's on "Is available when I need him" and "Is open to all ideas and not just his own agenda." I wasn't really sure how to feel about this. I kind of wish I knew which teacher had said those things because they did not leave any feedback for how to improve.

I'm new to this job, and I have been busting my hump trying to be anywhere and everywhere I am asked to be. So I am honestly curious as to who I may have blown off. Of course, I'm not interested so I can "give them a piece of my mind," but I really want to know where I went wrong for this particular teacher. Honestly, I love this job, and I think this is where I'm best suited. But I want to make sure my Ts think that, too.

Hopefully some more report cards come in. Hopefully those responses have some more constructive feedback in addition to those numbers. But until then, I am going to keep a sharp eye on what I'm doing, who I'm serving, and who may be feeling UNDERserved.

Wish me luck!
