Coaching ”Work the Clock”

Coaching Teachers on Work the Clock
In this episode of The Instructional Coach’s Toolkit, we unpack strategies for helping teachers implement the Teach Like a Champion technique Work the Clock. Coaches will learn how to spot time-loss patterns in classrooms, model clear pacing moves, and guide teachers to set short deadlines, announce time, and hold students accountable for finishing strong. We’ll also share practical coaching tips—like scripting transitions, practicing with teachers, and using data from observations—to help reclaim instructional minutes and maximize student learning.
