It’s a form of engagement. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. If the teacher uses a tool like M2 they are probably creative and thinking outside the box. Getting feedback especially creating the culture at a young age is a good thing.

Power of Pause in Coaching: Let Teachers Reflect and Grow Learn how teacher reflection boosts growth. Discover how M2 gives space for learning without extra time demands.

We can’t always be in the room - But M2 can.

M2 quietly collects bite-sized feedback on key teaching practices - engagement, questioning, & pacing, without requiring a full, formal observation.

It's an extra set of eyes, observing so teachers can review on their own time. #EduSky

Imagine you are your historical figure standing in front of an audience for the first time in decades. What would you say to explain who you are, what you did, and why people should remember you? How did you change history, and what can we learn from your life today? Several options
