Observation Form
This form is not required. It is similar to the form presented on page 113 in Knight's book. Use whatever format helps you remember what you observe in the classroom so that you can have a strong dialogue with the teacher in a post-conference.

Post Conference Questions
These questions can be found within a form Knight calls After-Action report on page 222 and 131. He suggests the questions are a way for the coach to reflect on the entire process but they can also be a useful post-conference tool to evoke the teacher's ideas on what he or she wanted to accomplish in the classroom.
1. What was supposed to happen?
2. What happened?
3. What accounts for the difference?
4. What should be done differently next time
