Stop Reconstructing. Start Coaching.

Most coaches don't fail because they don't know how to coach. They fail because they don’t have enough time.

Prepping for a coaching conversation takes too long. Documentation eats up time. The context that should be right there — the teacher's goal, what happened last cycle, what the AI surfaced — has to be reconstructed from scattered notes before every single visit.

This workbook fixes that.

Dr. Kim Ramadan built this practical field guide for coaches who want to save time and stop spending time on the wrong things. It walks through all four phases of an AI-enhanced coaching cycle — before the observation, during, after, and the debrief — with specific Sibme features mapped to each step, fillable notes fields where they matter, and a clear division of labor between what the platform handles and what only you can do.

Copy it. Print it. Bring it into your next coaching visit. You’ll be glad you chose to save time with this resource.

I Use AI Every Day. Here's What Worries Me About How We're Handling It in Education.

While AI adoption is widespread in education, relying on AI detectors is failing and fueling an atmosphere of distrust. The deeper threat is "cognitive surrender"—where students lean on chatbots at the first sign of struggle—combined with a massive support gap for teachers who lack adequate guidance. Rather than policing students, the path forward involves focusing on active, observable learning processes, encouraging human connection, and giving educators collaborative tools like Sibme to reflect on and improve their teaching practice.
