Zero Trust Security Model

“Never trust, always verify” – A security model that requires strict identity verification for everyone trying to access resources, regardless of location or network connection.

Key principles:

  • Verify explicitly
  • Use least privilege access
  • Assume breach mentality
Data Backup Strategy (3-2-1)
  • 3 copies of your data

Whisper Coaching Method for Education

Category: Coaching, EdTech, Educational Leadership, Post Feed Tags: , , , , , Leave a Comment

Whisper coaching in education is a type of coaching where a coach provides real-time, in-the-moment feedback to a teacher during a lesson, often by whispering instructions or suggestions. The coach’s guidance is intended to help the teacher improve their practice and student engagement in the moment, without interrupting the flow of the lesson for the students. 

Here’s a more detailed look at whisper coaching:
How it works:
  • Real-time feedback: The coach observes the lesson and, when appropriate, subtly provides feedback to the teacher, often by whispering or using hand gestures.
  • Focus on improvement: Coaching is focused on helping the teacher make adjustments to their lesson delivery or student engagement strategies.
  • Minimal disruption:
    The goal is to provide guidance without disrupting the students or the flow of the lesson.
  • Examples:
    (Use only if attention does not divert to the Coach and prior relationship has been established). A coach might whisper to a teacher, “Can you rephrase that question to be more precise?” or “Try calling on a different student who hasn’t participated yet”
Benefits of whisper coaching:
  • Immediate feedback: The teacher receives guidance in the moment, allowing for immediate adjustments to the lesson.
  • Improved student engagement: The coaching can help teachers make adjustments that improve student engagement and participation.
  • Reduced disruption: Whisper coaching is less disruptive to students than more overt coaching methods.
  • Supports teacher growth: The coaching can help teachers learn new strategies and improve their teaching practice. 
When to use whisper coaching:
  • During a lesson: The coach can observe the lesson and provide feedback when the teacher reaches a natural stopping point or when there is a need for immediate adjustment.
  • With teachers of all experience levels: Whisper coaching can be used with both novice and experienced teachers.

This weekend’s Ed. Quote is a vintage salute to the scholar, Dr. Everett Rogers

“Complexity is the degree to which an innovation is perceived as difficult to understand and use. … Thus we see that the diffusion of innovations is a social process, even more than a technical matter.”  Everett M. Rogers, Diffusion of Innovations
