I love this - such a great way to think about the constant decision making teachers need to do during one lesson. Recognising 'Decision Points' and knowing how to adapt in these moments is so interesting and SO hard to coach around. I also love the notion of adaptive expertise and developing teachers' ability to interpret the important details and filter the irrelevant ones... Developing more expert mental models is such a powerful idea - thanks for the inspiration!

Great post Sarah, thank you
Thank you for reading it Mary!
Very useful reminder to focus on adaptative expertise and not simply strategy when working with teachers. Thanks for posting!
