Workshop Objectives
o Show how ASOT fits into a bigger picture of High Reliability Schools;
o Focus a bit on level 1—specifically school culture; o Focus primarily on level 2—a common model of instruc[on;
o Address implementa[on challenges and create ac[on steps; and
o Explore coaching and reflec=on prac=ces to enhance implementa=on of ASOT.

Three Key Comparisons Automaticity Flow Deliberate Practice
Non-conscious
Conscious Very conscious
• Cerebellum activity • Might be pleasant or
unpleasant • Examples:
• Driving a car • Tying shoes • Eating
• Often motivating and pleasant
• “Corresponds to complete immersion and effortless mastery of the activity.” (Ericsson, 1996)
• Engaged in activities for which you are skilled.
• Requires less effort • Examples:
• High interest activities • Playing your favorite
sport • Reading a book
• Not always pleasant • Involves repetition • Aims to improve
performance • Seeks feedback on
performance • Is highly mentally
demanding • Employs highly focused and
specially designed practice activities
• May involve a coach to give feedback and help design practice activities
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Automaticity
o Occurs with a task that is carried out with minimal mental effort, possibly even without conscious thought.
o Example: Riding a bike What examples from the classroom have you

Flow o Individuals engage in ac[vi[es at which they are skilled and the level of challenge perfectly matches the skills, training, strengths, and resources of the performer.
o Engagement = Top Performance o Ojen lose track of [me during “Flow”
Do teachers typically achieve flow with things they like to do or things that challenge them?
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Deliberate Practice
o In deliberate prac[ce, you are con[nually challenging yourself and you are on the edge of comfort and failure with the challenge.
o By being deliberate in your prac[ce, you are engaging in the constant pursuit of excellence and growth.
How can deliberate prac%ce be explained in different words?

CoachesBY JIM KNIGHT
PREVIEWInstructional coaches collaboratewith teachers to help them useproven practices.
Coaches model teaching in class-rooms and help teachers identifywhen to implement interventions.
Principals work with instructionalcoaches to strengthen their ownknowledge and identify teacherswho will receive the greatestbenefit from coaching.
When I was a principal, I wanted so much to have an impacton how my teachers taught. As I was talking with teachers orobserving them, I'd think how much I wished I had the timeto give these teachers the kind of support they need. If I hadhad an instructional coach in my school, I could have donethat....When I see a coach and principal work well together,the coach is really an extension of the principal-the coachmakes it possible for the principal to truly be an instructionalleader.

Passport to Success Program in Anne Arundel County, MD
The pressure to improve the quality of instruction inschools may be higher today than at any other time in thehistory of U.S. education. To respond to this urgent de-mand, schools across the nation are hiring instructionalcoaches (ICs) although there is little published research thatshows what works and what does not work when it comesto instructional coaching. This lack of information about in-structional coaching puts principals and districts at risk. Ifprincipals and other decisionmakers do not understand ex-emplary coaching practices, they risk spending precious dol-lars on instructional coaching programs that have little or noeffect on student achievement.
Over the past six years, researchers from the Kansas Uni-

identify teachers' true instructional needs and can respect-fully encourage teachers to work with their ICs. At the sametime, from their vantage point as professionals collaboratingwith teachers, ICs can offer principals another perspectiveon what is happening in the school.
How Can Resistance Be Overcome?In some cases, teachers don't resist change as much as theyresist poorly designed change programs. According to Csik-szentmihalyi (1993), the history of technological changeshows that the changes people embrace generally share twoqualities: They are more powerful than older technologiesand they're easier to use. Csikszentmihalyi states that theideas, values, and technologies "that do the job with theleast demand on psychic energy will survive" (p. 178). Inother words, an appliance that does more work with less ef-fort is preferred. If something is easier, if it does more, peo-ple embrace it. ICs believe that the same notion holds truefor educational interventions and share interventions thatare proven to work and that address the real challenges ateacher faces. The fact that these interventions help teachershelp students increases the likelihood that teachers willadopt them.
However, even a powerful program is not likely to beadopted if it is difficult to implement. Interventions catchon and spread when they are powerful and easy to imple-ment. This is where ICs become very important. The IC'sjob, in large part, is to make it as easy as possible for teachersto implement a given intervention. As IC Devona Dunekackfrom Eisenhower Middle School in Topeka, KS, observed,"As a coach, I do whatever I can to provide support. I makecopies. I get them transparencies if they need them. I model
in their classrooms. I give them feed-back. Sometimes support is just show-ing that things are happening even
^4, when the teachers are too close to theclass to see it."
What Is the Theory?-_ The unfortunate reality is that ICs and
principals can employ all of the tacticsand methods outlined in this articleand stil fail if their change initiative isnot based on sound principles. As thefounding vice president of the CoveyLeadership Center says "The principlesyou live by create the world you live
.RS ; in; if you change the principles youlive by, you will change your world"(Lee, 1997, p. 7)
ICs in the Pathways to Success andPassport to Success projects receive ex-tensive and ongoing professional devel-
opment in what is referred to as the partnership approach(Knight, 2002), which gives conversations a central role inprofessional learning and embodies seven key principles:* Equality: Teachers and ICs are understood to be equal
partners.* Choice: Participant choice is implicit in every communi-
cation about content and in the process used to learn thecontent.
* Dialogue: ICs collaborate with teachers in conversationsthat allow the teacher and the IC to think and learn to-gether.
* Praxis: Teachers and ICs creatively adapt, shape, and planhow to use interventions.

Choice “Personal discre[on is in many ways the heart of being a professional. Doctors, lawyers, or teachers are professionals because we trust them to make the right decisions, to use their knowledge skillfully and arwully. That is, what makes someone a professional is her or his ability to choose correctly. When we take away choice, we reduce people to being less than professionals.”
Jim Knight, as quoted in “Coaching Classroom Instruc=on”, 2013, p. 11

Tracking stu-dent progress
I adapt and create new strategies for unique student needs and situations.
I facilitate tracking of stu-dent progress using a forma-tive approach to assessment, and I monitor the extent to which students understand their level of performance.
I facilitate tracking of stu-dent progress using a forma-tive approach to assessment, but I do so in a somewhat mechanistic way.
I use the strat-egy incorrectly or with parts missing.
I should use the strategy, but I don’t.

Instruc=onal Rounds
In the MRL model, rounds are one of the primary ways for teachers to observe and discuss effec[ve teaching.
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Our Process:
1. Develop Common Understanding of Rounds 2. Focus on Details
– What do we do before rounds to prepare? – What do we do during rounds? – What do we do aler rounds?
3. Experience Rounds 4. Debrief Experience
MARZANO Research Laboratory888.849.0851 marzanoresearch.com
Key Points
o Rounds are not evalua[on.
o Rounds are for collabora[on and reflec[on by the observers.
o Reflec[ve conversa[ons should occur immediately, if possible.
