1. Nuts and Bolts of Peer Coaching

2. Activity 1 Setting Group Norms

3. If you were being coached…
What attributes would you want your coach to use in their work with you.
How would you want your coach to treat you? What would be the qualities you would like to experience? E.g Understand that that I am a busy person
What is the rule they would need to follow in order to treat you this way?. E.g. Arrive on time.
Task 1 - Think of a situation where you might enter a coaching relationship as a coachee. Consider and fill in the following
Task 1 – The aim of this task it to help participants relate to norms setting. To help them really feel and understand how Norms can make a difference to a caching relationship. Complete the first column with a group brainstorm, then the second two individually before sharing column three ‘rules’ back to the group.

4. Key categories group norms should cover
Time
Decisions making
Listening
Participation

5. How might we work most effectively as a team
How might we work most effectively as a team? Let’s create our own group norms
Task 2 -
Now let's create our own Norms list for our group. Contribute to a group brainstorm that lists potential norms. 
Address this question: How might we work most effectively as a team? 
Brainstorm a list of norms you think your group should adopt
Look for patterns in the brainstormed list. Combine or restate the norms that are similar. 
As a group, decide on the five or six norms that will guide the behaviour of your Peer Coaching community. 
If your group has not included it already, it may want to add this norm: "Accept ownership for your own learning." 
Some points to note:
The goal of this norm is to encourage all participants to play a positive role in making sure the Peer Coaching Program meets everyone’s needs. 
If activities are not clear, or if they are not meeting needs, participants may want to raise the issues and work toward resolution. 
Now that we have our norms, it is important to remember this is a starting point. The list may grow or shrink as we work as a group. To make sure our norms work for our community we will revisit them in each session.
Task 3 - As a debrief for this activity, discuss other ways that Norms can be used in their schools and institutions. Some ideas are – classrooms, faculty meetings, staff meetings, parent-student meetings and general committee and project team work.

6. Activity 2 Using Protocols

7. Protocols Chalk talk Protocol Norms Protocol Coaching Cue Card
Wows and Wonders
Feedback Model
Coaching Road Block
Probing Questions
Tuning Protocol
The Final Word
Zones of Comfort
Work through the various protocols and notes about protocols in the participants handouts. Giving reasons you might use Protocols yourself, or experiences you have had with them.
Some general reading and discussion around protocols is important to build an understanding of how they can help to build a professional learning community in schools, how they can take emotion out of difficult conversations and topics, and how they can direct conversation to be focussed on learning outcomes.
You could summarize the protocols and direct them to the handouts to look through the protocols. Those protocols with an asterisk next to them will be used through the course and those without are great for general use in their work in schools.
Ask them to work individually to complete the activity. A general share through the group of a few of the ideas for use would be good, but do not push those who don't yet see a use in their workplace.
If you have a large group, you could ask participants to share their choices by choosing a random selection.

8. Choose a Protocol Which protocol will you use?
Why will it help to develop a professional dialogue around this issue or project?
When will you use it?
How will you prepare for the use of it?
Participants are to look at the protocols in the handouts and answer the questions in their journal before discussing in pairs.
Ask a few to share with the wider group.
Encourage participants to share protocols they have used in the past.

9. Activity 3 The Final Word
The Final Word Protocol is great to show the power of a protocol.
You will find a copy of the protocol and example reading resource in the Participants Handouts.

10. The Final Word Difficult topics Strong opinions All voices heard
All voices used
Once you have completed the Final Word Protocol, debrief by asking the following question for discussion.
How powerful are protocols such as this in developing a Professional learning Community in your school? What Impact would they have on your staff?

11. Activity 4 Course Reflection
Bring the course together.

12. Protocols – Give one, Get One
Something about Protocols that you will commit to doing from tomorrow?
Wrap this course together with a short ‘Give one – Get One’ Reflection Activity
Participants move to as many people in the room as possible, sharing one of their ideas and getting one idea, before moving to the next person. The focus statement for this activity is:
Something about Protocols that you will commit to doing from tomorrow?
