I got the idea to use a coaching menu through Twitter and connecting with other coaches. My menu is based on the menus of other coaches.
Here is the link to view:
Coaching Menu
A word of caution based on my experiences this year.
If you want the time to work with teachers in other opportunities other than rounds/cycles, be careful how many rounds/cycles you take on. I am very grateful to be "booked" at the beginning of the year this year and I am in classrooms or planning with those teachers constantly, but I am feeling the pinch of available time. The beauty of coaching in a school is the flexibility to meet teacher's needs with your time; however, if you stretch yourself too thin, you'll have a hard time being effective.
I started the year with four cycles and a mentee. It is a lot. I'm enjoying it, but it's not leaving me a lot of time to get in other classrooms. At the end of the month when I send coaching invitations again, I'm only going to take 3 for next round. Lessons learned!
