Mapping is a visual way to prepare for coaching conversations. It helps the coach isolate the issue they'd like to coach on. It's powerful for us during the conversation too. It can also help groups of coaches get on the same page about how to help teachers to improve their practice.

Can I use mapping in my role?

If you work as a coach or a school leader, mapping is an approach that can help everyone get on the same page about great teaching, help coaches prepare for conversations, and be used by coaches to support teachers to be adaptive in their practice.
