The coaches are supportive and engaged observers. They use mutually agreed schedules to make notes of important details of teacher behaviours and pupil responses related to the coaching focus. At appropriate moments they talk to pupils in a sustained way to gauge the quality of learning, moving from what to how learning has happened. At these points, the coaching skills of open questioning, non-verbal communication and active listening are important as a means of eliciting more information. Both coaches use video to inform the post-lesson conversation. They are active participants in the lesson, without undermining or unduly influencing the whole-class interaction between the coached teacher and the pupils.
