290. How to Develop Teacher Skill with Desi Klassen

How do you build teacher expertise? In this episode, math coach Desi Klassen joins me to talk about how to develop teacher skill. We explore the difference between knowledge and skill, why so many traditional PD approaches fail, and what to do instead. Desi shares how she uses the gradual release model to shift responsibility to teachers (I do, We do, You do). Plus, learn how to build trust with teachers and what to do when you notice a teacher has stopped using a skill you’ve already worked on. This episode is full of actionable strategies and ideas you can put into practice right away. Listen now!
