Absolutely loved this clear explanation of the model in practice, and the vivid (and very familiar) examples. I sometimes have had much of this in my head while coaching, but there is great value in making it more explicit — both to have clear language to support our own thinking and decision-making as coaches, and to be able to share this better with the teacher (and anyone else involved).
I think you discussed this with Adam, but what if a teacher does not agree with your hypothesis & critical evidence? What does the story tree look like after that? During Ollie Lovell & Goodrich's coaching session, Ollie disagreed with some of Goodrich's initial pitches, but I don't remember how Goodrich reacted. I think he had another hypothesis that he presented to Ollie.
Thanks so much for your comments. I've heard of quite a few experiences like yours, unfortunately. And you are dead right, broad brush, scatter gun observations that lack a clear focus simply do not work (especially if they have high stakes attached to them)

Thanks for your comments! Yes, I am a big fan of making processes as explicit as possible, and the power of shared language
