One challenge I keep sitting with is finding time to actually talk with teachers outside of being in their classroom. Protected time exists for good reason. Teachers need it, and I respect it. But it also means the reflective conversations, the kind where we really dig into what happened in a lesson and why, often don’t have a natural home. In-the-moment feedback is great, but it’s not the same as a real debrief.
How do you navigate this? Have you found ways to build in time for deeper conversation that don’t ask teachers to give up time that’s protected for a reason?
