Quality Review Channels

📢 Main Chat
17 messages  ·  Apr 9 – May 12
AnnouncementsSmartsheet AccessCommunication Protocols
Primary broadcast channel for Safal staff. Amena Amires and Mindy Morgan drove most communication. Staff actively redirected coaches to topic-specific channels, keeping volume low but each message high-impact.
Top Contributors
Amena Amires (7)Mindy Morgan (5)David Ezzell (3)Sonja Edwards (2)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Smartsheet access failure from Day 1 — required multiple broadcast announcements and persisted across weeks
  • Coaches repeatedly clicked ‘request access’ buttons despite explicit instructions; behavior recurred after each reminder
  • Confusion between Google Classroom private comments and GroupMe/email for support routing
Recurring Topics
  • GroupMe + imra@safalpartners.com as the only sanctioned communication channels
  • Weekend non-negotiables: initial touchpoints and meeting times due in Google Classroom
  • Reviewer notification timing — coaches were ahead of reviewers receiving product assignments
  • Three-Meeting Cadence FAQ being built from coach questions in real time
Coach Behaviors
  • Generally compliant and appreciative — high emoji reaction counts (8–15 per staff message)
  • Channel used primarily for receiving announcements; minimal two-way discussion
Notable Signals
  • Two new channels created mid-stream in response to question volume — reactive rather than proactive structure
  • Reminders repeated across multiple days, suggesting first-read rates may be lower than assumed
📅 Three-Meeting Cadence
208 messages  ·  Apr 18 – May 13
Scheduling ConflictsProcess ClarificationMissing TemplatesMeeting DurationQRC/Unpacking Timing
Highest-volume substantive channel. Central hub for meeting structure questions, reviewer outreach, assignment sequencing, and — in later weeks — unpacking meeting duration and QRC workflow concerns. Strong peer-to-peer problem-solving throughout.
Top Contributors
Mindy Morgan (21)Parvathi Sivaraman (17)Luisa Guerra-Martinez (15)Rebecca Machost (9)Kristin Lavelle-Morgan (9)Julio Castillo (8)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Email outreach template confusion — coaches believed a formal fill-in-the-blank template existed; it was example language in Coach Tools
  • Reviewer scheduling conflicts (especially Sundays) with unclear escalation path
  • Coaches began outreach before reviewers received product assignment notifications
  • First unpacking meetings running 90 min–2+ hours; reviewers and coaches anxious about time expectations
  • QRC workflow timing: when to review QRCs, who manages accepts/rejects, whether R5 is the sole recorder
  • Confusion about which meetings are supplemental vs. full review schedule
Recurring Topics
  • Where to enter meeting dates/links in Google Classroom (Assignment 2.1)
  • Whether coaches create meeting links or receive them from Safal
  • Reviewer 5 role: collects evidence AND records QRC votes; different from prior years
  • Prework expectations — reviewers should come prepared; reduces meeting length
  • RST approver introduced in later weeks as dedicated point of contact for team-specific issues
  • Consensus voting protocol: voting should occur outside the unpacking meeting
Coach Behaviors
  • Strong self-organizing: coaches who solved problems returned to post answers for others
  • Lacy Smith created and shared a community IMRA meeting calendar — an outstanding peer resource
  • Dr. Katie Perez shared detailed outreach strategy; Julio Castillo consistently modeled patience and peer support
  • ‘Me too’ confirmation pattern throughout — one coach asks, 3–5 confirm same confusion before staff responds
Notable Signals
  • Meeting duration anxiety is real and growing — reviewers comparing to prior years without QRC component
  • The RST approver handoff (Mindy → Sonja) mid-channel is a significant support structure change
  • Safal building FAQ doc from channel questions in real time is a strong loop, but a proactive FAQ would cut this load significantly

TEA Learn AccessEnrollment LinksKickoff LogisticsDue Date ConfusionReviewer Assignment IssuesStipend Clarity
Catch-all channel for cross-content-area questions. Heavy early traffic around TEA Learn enrollment and a recurring support loop. Later messages covered product disclosure timing, kickoff logistics, office hours access, QRC clarifications, and a significant stipend payment discrepancy that required formal staff resolution.
Top Contributors
Luisa Guerra-Martinez (21)Tamala Cade (17)Dr. Katie Perez (14)Mindy Morgan (13)Dr Zoe G (10)Julio Castillo (9)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • TEA Learn enrollment loop: coaches → TEA Learn helpdesk → ‘Safal sends links’ → back to Safal → no resolution for days
  • Reviewer enrolled in wrong subject-area training (CTE instead of ELA, etc.) — widespread issue
  • Stipend payment discrepancy: 16%+20% split vs. expected five 20% payments — required formal Safal email clarification
  • Office hours link confusion: calendar invite links placed coaches in waiting rooms; Google Classroom link was correct
  • Product confidentiality ambiguity — coaches unsure if they could disclose product info during initial outreach
Recurring Topics
  • TEA Learn course visibility and enrollment link delivery (dominated first two weeks)
  • Outreach sequencing: co-review coach first, then reporting coach, then quality reviewers
  • In-person kickoff attendance — who was invited and when notification would arrive
  • Assignment 2.1 navigation: finding slide deck referenced in Step 6
  • Reviewer 5 role: written submission support + evidence collection + QRC recording
  • Slide decks are internal-only — confirmed not to be shared with reviewers
  • Stipend payment structure — required broadcast resolution from Safal leadership
Coach Behaviors
  • Luisa Guerra-Martinez functioned as de facto community manager — answering before staff, validating interpretations
  • Coaches shared TEA Learn helpdesk response emails verbatim, making the support gap publicly visible
  • Julio Castillo ended a late-cycle message with a public thank-you to Safal — received 13 heart reactions
Notable Signals
  • The stipend discrepancy was a high-tension moment — coaches publicly documented contract language before Safal paused and issued a formal email response
  • TEA Learn enrollment failure was systemic at launch; both issues (enrollment + office hours links) point to pre-launch QA gaps
🔢 Math-Focus
~50 messages  ·  Apr 30 – May 18
Partner MatchingSchedule ClarificationSupplemental vs. Tier 1 TimingCommunity Resource Sharing
Dedicated Math coach channel. Activity was primarily partner matching for Assignments 4.1 and 4.2, followed by schedule clarification questions specific to math timelines. Notably collaborative — coaches sharing Google Meet links, consensus slide decks, and a community-built meeting calendar peer-to-peer.
Top Contributors
Parvathi SivaramanJulie Torres (Review Coach)Lacy SmithTamala CadeDawn MonzonMark Broughton
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Confusion between supplemental math and full (Tier 1) math unpacking schedules — supplemental is one week ahead; coaches seeing different dates in workbook tabs
  • Partner assignment role confusion: Julie Torres initially stated review coaches don’t partner for 4.1 (incorrect); Parvathi Sivaraman corrected — review coaches partner for 4.1, reporting coaches for 4.2
  • Missing indicator 1.2 in supplemental math workbook — reported by Kristen Lewis mid-cycle
  • Coaches sought consensus slide decks from peers when they had a creative block
Recurring Topics
  • Assignment 4.1 and 4.2 partner matching (dominated early activity)
  • Schedule clarification: supplemental math unpacking moves to 5/17; consensus for 1.1 on 5/18
  • ‘Unpacking 1.1+’ means still working on Standards Alignment, not a separate meeting
  • No consensus meeting the first week for supplemental — optional office hours suggested instead
  • Math K–12 schedule update communicated through workbook schedule tab (far right)
Coach Behaviors
  • Lacy Smith created and shared an IMRA 2026 Meeting Calendar spreadsheet — received enthusiastic positive response from the cohort
  • Julie Torres and Mark Broughton connected peer-to-peer to support each other across the channel
  • Personal emails and phone numbers shared publicly for partner matching — consistent privacy concern
Notable Signals
  • The supplemental vs. Tier 1 schedule distinction is a recurring source of confusion that warrants a dedicated clarification document
  • Sonja Edwards corrected schedule information in real time — demonstrates value of staff presence in content-area channels
  • Lacy Smith’s community calendar was shared here and in Three-Meeting Cadence — a standout peer contribution
📚 SuppRLA – Focus

Indicator Scope AmbiguityQRC Acceptance CriteriaAsync Partner MatchingSpanish Content GapsDifferentiated Schedules
Active subject-specific channel. Started with foundational questions about indicator scope and meeting cadence; evolved into substantive rubric application discussions including QRC acceptance criteria, Spanish program content discrepancies, and indicator guidance statement interpretation.
Top Contributors
Kiara Tarver (7)Brittany McAnally (7)Mindy Morgan (7)Tamala Cade (6)Jorge Mata (5)Sarah Jusiewicz (4)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • QRC acceptance criteria when publisher places multiple links in one box — required Mindy to produce a 2-minute video response to clarify
  • Spanish supplemental program missing large chunks of content from pages — English/Spanish version misalignment reported by Kim Wright with screenshots
  • Indicator 2.1b: whether publishers must use specific vocabulary or equivalent terms — consensus meeting stalled
  • Indicator 3.1c and 3.3a showing points in workbook but ‘n/a’ in QRC — possible publisher omission
  • Indicator scope question (meet every week vs. only for applicable indicators) unresolved at time of initial capture
Recurring Topics
  • Which LQ indicators apply to a given product (publisher-selected categories vs. full schedule)
  • One rubric applies to both English and Spanish supplemental RLA programs — no separate Spanish rubric
  • Review Coach partner matching for Assignment 4.1 (async)
  • Differentiated product-specific schedules: programs receive their own schedules after LQ training window
Coach Behaviors
  • Long peer debates before staff responded — coaches genuinely problem-solving rather than just escalating
  • Mindy responded to a substantive rubric question with a video — strong support model for visual learners
  • Kim Wright escalated the Spanish content gap with screenshots, making investigation easier for staff
Notable Signals
  • The Spanish content gap (missing text from program pages) is a publisher-side issue affecting review validity — requires TEA escalation
  • The QRC multi-link acceptance question generated a video response — this should be added to coach resources permanently
  • Assessment vocabulary question (indicator 2.1b) points to a gap in the indicator guidance statement itself

Wrong-Product Citation LinksCertification WorkflowVoting Link BugEmail Notification OverloadDivide & Conquer Confusion
Lower-volume but high-urgency channel. Surfaced a CTE citation routing bug, certification sequencing confusion, and a kickoff-communicated ‘divide and conquer’ instruction that some teams misapplied to TEKS-level splitting rather than citation-level splitting.
Top Contributors
Ariana Kay (6)Mindy Morgan (5)Jose de Jesus Pesina (3)Robbie Harter (3)Lacy Smith (2)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Voting link bug (CTE): publisher citations for Foundations of Computer Science routed reviewers to Introduction to Business or Math
  • ‘Divide and conquer’ miscommunication: TEA at kickoff meant splitting citations within a breakout; some teams applied it to separate TEKS (incorrect)
  • Certification timing confusion: individual-certify vs. team-certify; some teams certified prematurely
  • Reporting coaches receiving error/feedback notifications for 25+ unrelated products
  • Whether factual errors can be rejection grounds (clarified: report but do not reject)
Recurring Topics
  • Team voting visibility: coaches cannot see individual reviewer % completion
  • Certification prerequisites: 100% completion + error/feedback review required before certifying
  • Email inbox management for error/feedback notifications (peer tip: create inbox rule)
  • What happens to rejected feedback — publisher responds; new citations can be created
Coach Behaviors
  • Ariana Kay escalated the citation bug methodically with increasing specificity
  • Liz Johnson provided critical context about the TEA ‘divide and conquer’ clarification from kickoff
  • Mindy issued a clarifying broadcast about voting best practices after confusion surfaced
Notable Signals
  • The citation routing bug is a publisher-side data error affecting review validity — high urgency
  • The ‘divide and conquer’ misapplication reveals a kickoff communication gap — should be proactively clarified in writing
  • No individual reviewer voting % visibility is a management blindspot coaches must work around

Sheet PermissionsAccidental Data EditBreakout RoomsWorkbook Edit AccessMeeting Link Issues
Lower volume but high urgency. Issues escalated here were operationally blocking — sheet data corruption, breakout room limitations, and recurring reviewer workbook access failures.
Top Contributors
Kim Wright (3)Kristal Contreras (3)Mindy Morgan (2)Tasha Sheehan (2)Amena Amires (2)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Program Offering & Team Assignment Google Sheet accidentally edited by a participant — data temporarily disappeared
  • Columns K and L had unclear labels causing confused data entry across multiple coaches
  • Safal-provided Teams links did not support breakout rooms — discovered mid-consensus-cycle; coaches directed to create own links
  • Multiple reviewer teams unable to edit workbook tabs — recurring permissions provisioning failure
  • Late-joining coach had no Google Classroom access after two email requests
Recurring Topics
  • Whether the shared assignment sheet should have restricted editing
  • IMRA helpdesk vs. TEA Learn helpdesk routing confusion
  • Workbook column/tab structural issues (Workbook O67: columns E and F mismatch)
Coach Behaviors
  • Coaches were specific and proactive when reporting issues (team numbers, reviewer names)
  • Multiple coaches confirming the breakout room issue created a clear systemic picture
Notable Signals
  • Breakout room limitation affects consensus quality for larger teams — workaround adds coach burden
  • Open edit access on the assignment sheet is a quick, straightforward fix for future cycles
  • Recurring workbook edit-access failures point to a systemic permissions provisioning gap
📓 Program Workbook

Access / LocationGoogle Drive NavigationAssignment SequencingWorkbook–Team NumberingWorkbook Errors
High-traffic channel. Coaches had persistent difficulty locating workbooks, understanding team/workbook number relationships, and knowing which tabs contained what. Later-cycle questions shifted to workbook structural problems and consensus process.
Top Contributors
Luisa Guerra-Martinez (7)Lacy Smith (7)Amena Amires (7)Rosalina Elizondo (5)Sonja Edwards (5)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Coaches couldn’t find workbooks — correct location is Google Drive ‘Shared with Me’ (WBK file); not intuitive
  • Team number ≠ Workbook number: widespread confusion; workbook # is a unique program ID, workspace folder corresponds to team #
  • Reviewer given view-only instead of edit access — requires IMRA email escalation with specific fields
  • Consensus scores do NOT auto-populate into report tabs — manual entry required
  • Double QRC entries in some workbooks — teams worked in first one
  • Program Offering & Team Assignment Sheet showing intermittent row display problems
Recurring Topics
  • Finding the ‘Program Information PDF’ for Assignment 4.1 (in first workbook tabs)
  • Which tabs contain what: landing page vs. grade-level vs. final report tabs
  • Reporting coach vs. review coach editing responsibilities
  • Workbook issues flagged at kickoff — some coaches felt not attending in-person put them at a disadvantage
Coach Behaviors
  • Dr. Zoe G emerged as informal workbook expert directing coaches to specific tabs
  • Rebecca Machost candid post about remote coaches being disadvantaged generated important support signal
  • Coaches frequently resolved each other’s ‘can’t find it’ questions
Notable Signals
  • Double QRC entries suggest workbooks were not fully QA’d pre-distribution
  • The view-only access fix requires specific information — this should be in the FAQ
  • Remote coaches feeling disadvantaged from not attending kickoff is a program equity concern

Partner MatchingUnpacking Slide DecksMeeting/Consensus SequencingWrong Enrollment Track
Started as partner matching for assignments; evolved into subject-specific support around unpacking meetings and consensus. A wrong-track TEA Learn enrollment issue also surfaced here.
Top Contributors
Hannah Brittingham (8)Yvette Cantu (4)Caroline Key (4)Kristen Lewis (4)Teresa Carroll (4)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Reviewer incorrectly enrolled in RLA/SLRA training when assigned to Math — requires upstream data correction
  • Unpacking slide decks: coaches couldn’t locate them; found only after a peer shared a folder link directly
  • Confusion between three-meeting cadence slides and unpacking-specific slides
  • QRC prework not always completed by reviewers before unpacking sessions
  • Workbook missing indicator 1.2 for a supplemental math product — flagged by Kristen Lewis
Recurring Topics
  • Assignment 4.1 Review Coach partner matching (dominated early activity)
  • First unpacking meeting duration (~90 min; expected to improve each week)
  • Indicator 1.1c context: based on diagnostic assessment in program, not outside data
  • Difference between cadence slides and unpacking-specific slides
Coach Behaviors
  • Personal emails and phone numbers shared publicly for partner matching — consistent privacy concern
  • Kristen Lewis shared substantive indicator-level clarifications from breakout sessions
Notable Signals
  • Wrong-track enrollment requires upstream data correction — not fixable at coach or helpdesk level
  • Missing indicator 1.2 in workbook suggests QA gap in workbook preparation for supplemental products

Partner MatchingMissing Unpacking DecksStandards Alignment OverwhelmPeer Self-Organization
Started as partner-matching; evolved into subject-specific support with a strong community self-organization response when shared resources were absent. CTE coaches surfaced unique content-area challenges and organized spontaneously.
Top Contributors
Tally Jo Stout (6)Rebecca Machost (6)Ariana Kay (5)Tasha Sheehan (2)Carla Ruge-Fritz (2)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • No CTE-specific unpacking slide deck from 2026 — only 2025 cycle decks from other content areas available
  • Reviewer teams overwhelmed by volume and complexity of standards alignment + platform sluggishness
  • No individual reviewer voting percentage visibility for coaches
  • Citation links routing to wrong programs (CTE-specific; also reported in Standards Alignment)
Recurring Topics
  • Assignment 4.2 reporting coach partner matching
  • Whether to begin report drafting before consensus is complete (clarified: no)
  • CTE unpacking structure — whole group vs. breakout model for large standards sets
  • First-time coaching experience — multiple coaches self-identified
Coach Behaviors
  • Rebecca Machost publicly shared her self-created unpacking deck as a Google View Only link — standout peer generosity
  • Tasha Sheehan proposed a spontaneous CTE coaches group call — proactive community building
  • First-time coaches explicitly self-identified, creating openings for targeted support
Notable Signals
  • CTE is a newer IMRA content area — absence of 2026-cycle CTE resources will recur unless addressed
  • Rebecca Machost’s peer deck fills a gap but creates inconsistency — a Safal-reviewed CTE deck should be created
  • Spontaneous group call is evidence of community forming outside Safal-structured touchpoints

Report Writing StructureScore Auto-PopulationGrammarly AccessDeadline Sequencing
Low-volume but operationally important, active in the later program phase. Coaches clarified report structure, score entry requirements, and tool access before beginning drafts.
Top Contributors
Dr Zoe G (3)April Royal (2)Yvette Cantu (1)Beth Bousa (1)David Ezzell (1)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Consensus scores do NOT auto-populate into report tabs — writers must enter manually; not self-evident
  • Written summaries go in the program tab split by grade level — location unclear to coaches
  • Whether 3 pieces of evidence create one narrative or separate summaries — structural ambiguity for writers
  • Grammarly access raised (Beth Bousa proxying writer’s request) — unresolved in captured data
Recurring Topics
  • Draft timeline: writer submits Friday → feedback Saturday → corrections Sunday before submission
  • Which workbook tabs are final report tabs (last tabs, named by product and grade level)
  • Whether ‘Reviewer Written Submission Support’ exemplars must be completed before drafting
Coach Behaviors
  • Highly collegial tone — coaches built on each other’s answers
  • Beth Bousa proxied her writer’s Grammarly question — coaches advocating for writers’ resource needs
Notable Signals
  • Manual score entry is a workflow inefficiency and error risk — needs clear SOP documentation
  • Grammarly access unanswered — tool access parity for writers is a reasonable ask to address proactively

Partner Matching
Very low traffic. Almost entirely used for Assignment 4.2 partner matching. No process or technical challenges surfaced. Audrey Meador and Brenda Mesa successfully paired for async collaboration.
Top Contributors
Brenda Mesa (2)Audrey Meador (2)April Brannan-Ollila (1)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Small cohort size makes partner matching harder
  • Near-silence may reflect a very small Fine Arts cohort or coaches active primarily in General
Recurring Topics
  • Reporting coach and review coach partner matching for Assignment 4.2
Coach Behaviors
  • Async-first preference expressed explicitly by both coaches who connected
  • Email exchanged publicly as observed across all subject-focus channels — privacy concern
Notable Signals
  • No unique content-area challenges surfaced — unlike CTE, Fine Arts coaches did not report missing resources here
🎓 TEA Learn

Enrollment IssuesCourse NavigationSupport Ticket RoutingModule SequencingQuiz Reset Requests
Dedicated to TEA Learn platform issues. Enrollment was the dominant early challenge; course-to-course navigation and quiz failures followed. Tiffinie Pounds handled almost all staff responses.
Top Contributors
TP / Tiffinie Pounds (22)Tamala Cade (5)Dr. Katie Perez (4)Lauren Sanders (4)Mary Beth O’Connell (4)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Primary enrollment loop: coaches → TEA Learn helpdesk → ‘Safal sends links’ → back to Safal → no resolution for days
  • Enrollment link for next course placed in last module (no ‘Next’ button) — coaches consistently missed it
  • Quiz failures: all 3 attempts exhausted required a support ticket; no self-service reset
  • IMRA 104 missing from exit ticket dropdown — fixed by Tiffinie Pounds after being reported in channel
  • Coaches without TEA Learn Gmail couldn’t access enrollment links sent to that address
Recurring Topics
  • Finding enrollment links inside course modules (answered repeatedly by peers)
  • Verifying correct email account linked to TEA Learn account
  • Required sequence: affirmation + exit ticket + survey before next course link appears
  • 201/301 access: enrollment link for Course 201 is inside Course 101’s final module
Coach Behaviors
  • Experienced coaches (Tamala Cade, Dr. Katie Perez, Mary Beth O’Connell) handled bulk of navigation peer support
  • Coaches who found enrollment link immediately returned to share the answer — strong pay-it-forward pattern
  • Multiple coaches shared TEA Learn helpdesk response emails verbatim, making the support gap publicly visible
Notable Signals
  • Enrollment link UI placement is the #1 TEA Learn navigation failure — worth documenting as a known UX issue for future cohorts
  • Tiffinie Pounds bore almost all TEA Learn support load — single-point-of-contact risk
  • IMRA 104 exit ticket dropdown bug caught and fixed quickly — good example of channel-based QA in action

Smartsheet NavigationVerification WorkflowDeadline ClarityComment ProtocolsRed Row Confusion
Focused on the Smartsheet-based access verification workflow. Questions clustered around where to log information, what color coding meant, and deadline sequencing.
Top Contributors
Amena Amires (7)David Ezzell (6)Rosalina Elizondo (5)Sarah Donnelly Evans (4)Lauren Sanders (4)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Video password not prominently surfaced — coaches had to be told it was in the ‘Read Me’ section
  • Where to enter comments: coaches confused between cell comments and the paperclip attachment comment icon
  • Color-coding ambiguity: expected yellow after dual verification; actual is green only after Safal’s review
  • Deadline confusion between Assignments 1.1 (Apr 11), 1.2 (Apr 16), and 1.3 (Apr 15) — a peer posted incorrect info
  • All-red rows: known ‘unique situation’ not communicated proactively to affected coaches
Recurring Topics
  • Whether Coach 2 needs to duplicate Coach 1’s comment or simply affirm
  • What ‘verified’ means vs. what ‘green’ means (two separate milestones)
  • Whether to proceed with red or incomplete rows
  • Partner matching for Coach 2 / Verifier 2 happening publicly in channel
Coach Behaviors
  • Coaches sought Coach 2 partners through channel, posting emails publicly
  • Peer answers occasionally introduced incorrect deadline information — accuracy risk
  • High-anxiety tone: coaches worried about errors affecting reviewer access
Notable Signals
  • All-red-rows situation was known to Safal but not communicated proactively
  • SOP video wording around comment section was ambiguous enough that coaches second-guessed after watching
  • Open edit access on shared sheet was a realized data integrity risk; sheet protection is a quick fix
Suitability Program Channels
The following channels are specific to the Suitability review track, led primarily by Thurman Nassoiy with a separate coach cohort.
📢 Suitability Main Chat
11 messages  ·  Apr 3 – May 21
Coach Meeting CoordinationAnnouncementsOnboarding Sequence
Primary broadcast channel for the Suitability coach cohort. Thurman Nassoiy led virtually all communication. Meeting coordination, schedule votes, and milestone reminders. Lower volume than Quality Main Chat — each message high-impact.
Top Contributors
Thurman Nassoiy (10)Amena Amires (1)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Reviewer team assignments delayed due to Quality kickoff overlap — Suitability coaches on hold longer than anticipated
  • IMRA dashboard admin account setup happening same-day as first team meetings — coaches received password reset emails without context
  • Coach contact info accidentally sent to reviewer teams before intended, causing coaches to receive reviewer texts/calls prematurely
Recurring Topics
  • Weekly coach meeting time (Wednesday 6–7pm CT) set by poll from 27 votes
  • Optional office hours at 5:30pm CT before weekly meeting
  • ‘Tips, Tricks, and Templates’ folder added to SC Hub based on coach suggestion (Tamela Baker)
  • Meeting recordings posted in SC Hub → Classwork → Weekly Meeting Recordings folder
Coach Behaviors
  • Strong engagement from Thurman — proactive, warm, and transparent about delays outside Safal’s control
  • Coach suggestion (Tamela Baker) led directly to a new resources folder — responsive feedback loop
Notable Signals
  • Reviewer team assignments finalized much later than Quality track — Suitability coaches had a compressed ramp-up
  • Accidental early release of coach contact info to reviewer teams created confusion — should be a checklist item for future cycles

TEA Learn IssuesTeam Assignment StatusKickoff Communication GapMeeting Scheduling
Active cross-topic channel for the Suitability cohort. TEA Learn access issues mirrored Quality track problems. Primary ongoing challenge was delayed team assignments and reviewer-to-coach communication going out of sequence at kickoff.
Top Contributors
Thurman Nassoiy (14)Areli Meza-Jessiman (7)Tamela Baker (3)Kayla Hughes (3)Yagaira Alaniz (2)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • TEA Learn still experiencing issues during Suitability launch — coaches directed to focus on program access checks while waiting
  • Suitability team assignments not finalized until mid-May — coaches waiting 3+ weeks before being able to contact reviewer teams
  • Reviewer contact info sent to teams before coaches received it — reviewers reaching out to coaches about logistics coaches didn’t have answers for yet
  • Coach asked whether to attend their team’s meeting that same day — communication timeline gap
Recurring Topics
  • When team emails and coach views would be ready for outreach
  • How to direct reviewers with kickoff logistics questions (Help Desk / imra@safalpartners.com)
  • Meeting scheduler deadline: due May 20 for Safal to set recurring TEAMS meetings
  • Gina Ortiz shared Google Form availability template in Tips, Tricks, and Templates folder
Coach Behaviors
  • Coaches were patient with delays — Thurman’s transparent communication style clearly set a positive tone
  • Gina Ortiz shared a Google Form for collecting team availability — peer resource sharing active in this cohort
  • Amy Kitchel immediately asked for clarification on deadlines after receiving email — proactive follow-through
Notable Signals
  • Compressed Suitability timeline (team assignments + kickoff in quick succession) created a cascade of communication gaps — planning buffer needed
  • Thurman’s consistent communication style is noticeably warm and transparent — sets a strong model for future cohort leads

Enrollment IssuesCourse NavigationExit Ticket BugAccount Setup Confusion
Suitability-specific TEA Learn support channel. Mirrored Quality track issues closely but with one additional bug: IMRA 104 was missing from the exit ticket dropdown. Tiffinie Pounds handled support; Thurman coordinated with Region 11.
Top Contributors
Gina Ortiz (6)Tiffinie Pounds (6)Jina Eksaengsri (3)Thurman Nassoiy (2)
Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • IMRA 104 missing from exit ticket dropdown — flagged by Katrina Maccalous, fixed within the session by Tiffinie Pounds
  • TEALearn account vs. IMRA Gmail account confusion — enrollment link sent to different email than coaches were checking
  • Course 102 not appearing after completing 101 — required troubleshooting (Courses → 102 → Modules → gray bar at bottom)
  • Courses open date (May 5) not communicated clearly to all coaches — some expected earlier access
Recurring Topics
  • Which email account to use for TEA Learn course access
  • Exit ticket and affirmation must be completed before next course link appears
  • Navigation path to find subsequent courses: Courses → Modules → gray bar at bottom
Coach Behaviors
  • Gina Ortiz helped peers troubleshoot in real time — strong peer support leader in Suitability cohort
  • Tiffinie Pounds fixed the exit ticket bug and communicated the fix within the same session — fast response loop
Notable Signals
  • Exit ticket dropdown bug caught through channel — demonstrates value of active monitoring
  • Suitability TEA Learn issues essentially identical to Quality track — both tracks need the same proactive guidance
🔐 Suitability Program Access Check

Smartsheet NavigationVerification WorkflowIssue Identification Column
Small, focused channel. Mirrors Quality Program Access Checks closely. Key clarification: the ‘Issue Identification’ column requires entering ‘none’ if no issues exist. Escalated items should still be marked complete.

Pattern Analysis
Key Challenges
  • Mindy’s Smartsheet comment (‘Issue Identified data missing. Please update and tag me’) was unclear — coaches unsure what was missing
  • Whether escalated TEA items should still be marked complete in Google Classroom (yes — you completed your checks)
  • Dashboard showing prior-year reviewer products — confirmed to remain but coaches should take no action
Recurring Topics
  • Do not click ‘request access’ in Smartsheet — message via GroupMe instead
  • Issue Identification column: enter ‘none’ if no issues found
  • Admin dashboard view walkthrough scheduled for Wednesday meeting
Coach Behaviors
  • Tamela Baker asked a quick, specific question and received an immediate, clear answer — channel functioned efficiently
Notable Signals
  • Issue Identification column requiring explicit ‘none’ entry is non-intuitive — should be in the SOP with a screenshot
  • Prior-year reviewer products remaining in dashboard could cause confusion — worth a proactive note at onboarding

Cross-Channel Insights

🔄
Systemic Access Failure at Launch
Smartsheet access issues appeared from Day 1 and persisted across Main Chat, Program Access Checks, and Access & Technical Issues. Coaches were told not to click “request access” but no self-service alternative existed. The same pattern repeated in the Suitability track, confirming it’s a program-level provisioning gap, not a one-time incident.
🔁
TEA Learn Support Loop (Both Tracks)
The circular handoff — coaches → TEA Learn helpdesk → “Safal will send links” → back to Safal — happened identically in both Quality and Suitability tracks. Both cohorts experienced the same enrollment link UX problem and routing confusion. This is a program-level issue requiring a joint Safal/TEA Learn resolution before the next cycle.
🤝
Peer Leaders Carrying Significant Support Load
Luisa Guerra-Martinez, Julio Castillo, Tamala Cade, Dr. Katie Perez, and Lacy Smith collectively answered hundreds of questions before staff responded. In Suitability, Gina Ortiz played a similar role. Recognizing and lightly formalizing these roles (channel lead, pinned resources) would add structure without stifling the organic dynamic.
📩
Personal Contact Info Shared Publicly
Phone numbers and personal emails appeared in SuppMath, CTE, SuppRLA, Math-Focus, Fine Arts, and Program Access Checks — driven by partner matching and Coach 2 coordination. A structured partner-matching mechanism or direct messaging guidance would reduce this privacy exposure across both cycles.
📅
Platform vs. Verbal Deadline Mismatches
Deadline extensions and schedule changes announced verbally or via chat were consistently not reflected in Google Classroom. Coaches operating from the platform saw outdated information. Any deadline or schedule change must update the authoritative platform simultaneously — a simple but critical process discipline.
📁
Resource Discoverability Is a Systemic Gap
Across nearly every channel, coaches couldn’t find resources referenced in assignment instructions — templates, workbooks, video passwords, slide decks, enrollment links. Google Classroom navigation, Drive “Shared with Me,” and TEA Learn module structure all contributed. A resource map or orientation guide would reduce this significantly.
⚠️
Stipend Discrepancy Required Formal Resolution
The payment schedule change (16%+20% vs. five 20% payments) generated significant tension, with coaches publicly documenting contract language. Safal handled it well by pausing discussion and issuing a formal email response — but the discrepancy should be resolved before contracts go out in future cycles.
🏆
Peer Support Culture Is a Program Asset
The “me too + here’s the answer” pattern recurs throughout every channel in both tracks. Lacy Smith’s community calendar, Rebecca Machost’s CTE deck, and Gina Ortiz’s Google Form are standout examples. This culture measurably reduces staff support load and should be explicitly recognized and structurally supported.

Recommended FAQ Additions

These questions are drawn directly from recurring coach questions across all 17 GroupMe channels — Quality and Suitability tracks. High Frequency questions appeared repeatedly across multiple channels and should be prioritized. Each includes source channel(s) and a rationale to guide accurate FAQ authorship.
📅 Three-Meeting Cadence & Outreach
Is there a template I should use to email my reviewer team for the initial outreach?
Why it matters: Multiple coaches searched for a formal fill-in-the-blank template that does not exist. The instruction to ‘use Coach Tools as a springboard’ was misread as ‘a specific template exists somewhere.’ The FAQ should explicitly state there is no required template, clarify where Coach Tools is, and model what a good outreach email looks like.
▲ High Frequency
Three-Meeting Cadence, General
Does the initial touchpoint meeting count as one of the three meetings in the cadence?
Why it matters: Coaches were uncertain whether the initial touchpoint was separate from or included in the three-meeting structure, causing confusion about total meeting count and scheduling expectations.
▲ High Frequency
Three-Meeting Cadence
How long should unpacking meetings take? Our first meeting ran over two hours.
Why it matters: Meeting duration anxiety was widespread. The FAQ should set realistic expectations (first weeks longer, 3-week rhythm typically improves), emphasize prework as the key variable, and reassure coaches that longer early meetings are normal.
▲ High Frequency
Three-Meeting Cadence, SuppMath-Focus
Is there a slide deck provided for the initial touchpoint or unpacking meeting, or do I create my own?
Why it matters: Asked in Three-Meeting Cadence, SuppMath, and CTE. Coaches were looking for ready-made slide decks that either didn’t exist for their content area (CTE) or were hard to locate. The answer and the resource location should both be explicit, with a note that CTE-specific decks do not yet exist.
▲ High Frequency
Three-Meeting Cadence, SuppMath, CTE
Should standards alignment voting happen during or outside the unpacking meeting?
Why it matters: Mindy issued a mid-cycle clarification that voting should occur outside the unpacking meeting. This was not the initial general understanding. The FAQ should state this clearly upfront.
▲ High Frequency
Three-Meeting Cadence, Standards Alignment
What do I do if one of my reviewers cannot meet on Sundays or the scheduled day?
Why it matters: Coaches were unsure of the escalation path. The FAQ should provide a clear, step-by-step process with the correct subject line for IMRA inbox submission.
▶ Moderate
Three-Meeting Cadence
🎓 TEA Learn Platform
Where do I find the enrollment link to advance from Course 101 to Course 102?
Why it matters: The single most-asked TEA Learn question across both tracks. The link is in the last module of the completed course — non-intuitive. FAQ should include a screenshot-level walkthrough: complete affirmation + exit ticket + survey, then navigate to Modules and scroll to the bottom.
▲ High Frequency
TEA Learn, General, TEALearn Training (Suitability)
I completed all of Course 101 but I still don’t see Course 102. What do I do?
Why it matters: Many coaches completed all required steps but couldn’t find the next course. The exact navigation path (Modules → scroll to bottom → gray bar / enrollment link) was not discoverable without peer help.
▲ High Frequency
TEA Learn, General, TEALearn Training (Suitability)
TEA Learn told me Safal needs to send my enrollment links. Who do I contact?
Why it matters: The TEA Learn / Safal handoff created a circular loop for coaches in both tracks. The FAQ should document who owns enrollment link delivery, the expected timeline, and provide a direct escalation contact.
▲ High Frequency
TEA Learn, General, Suitability General
I failed the TEA Learn quiz and used all 3 attempts. How do I get it reset?
Why it matters: Coaches were stuck with no self-service option. FAQ should direct coaches to submit a TEA Learn support ticket immediately and provide the direct link.
▶ Moderate
TEA Learn
📓 Program Workbook & Resources
Where do I find my Program Workbook?
Why it matters: Most-asked Program Workbook question. Coaches looked in Google Classroom and didn’t find it. FAQ answer: Google Drive → ‘Shared with Me’ → find the file beginning with ‘WBK.’ Include a screenshot.
▲ High Frequency
Program Workbook
Does the Workbook number match my Team number?
Why it matters: Widespread confusion caused coaches and reviewers to think they had incorrect workbook assignments. Answer: No — Workbook # is a unique program ID. The workspace folder corresponds to the team #.
▲ High Frequency
Program Workbook
Will consensus scores automatically populate in the report tabs?
Why it matters: Coaches assumed auto-population; it does not happen. Manual entry required. This should be documented clearly to prevent errors in final reports.
▶ Moderate
Program Workbook, Draft Meeting
One of my reviewers has view-only access to the workbook and cannot edit it. How do I fix this?
Why it matters: Appeared in multiple channels. FAQ should give the exact escalation path: confirm reviewer is signed into Chrome with IMRA Gmail, then email imra@safalpartners.com with reviewer name, email, team #, program name, and description.
▶ Moderate
Program Workbook, Access & Technical Issues
I found two identical QRC entries in my workbook. Which one should we use?
Why it matters: Rebecca Machost flagged duplicate QRC entries mid-cycle. Coaches worked in the first one. FAQ should confirm the correct action and note this as a known workbook QA issue.
▶ Moderate
Program Workbook
🔐 Program Access Checks & Smartsheet
Where do I enter comments when I find a verification failure — in the cell or the comment section?
Why it matters: Coaches were uncertain even after watching the SOP video. Answer: use the comment section accessed via the paperclip icon. Include a screenshot.
▲ High Frequency
Program Access Checks
When will my verified cells turn green? I finished my verification but they’re still unchanged.
Why it matters: Coaches expected cells to change color after coach verification. Cells turn green only after Safal completes their review. The two-stage process needs a clear diagram.
▶ Moderate
Program Access Checks
Does Coach 2 need to re-enter the same comment as Coach 1, or just confirm?
Why it matters: Coaches were duplicating work unnecessarily. Answer: Coach 2 should affirm agreement with Coach 1’s comment rather than duplicate it.
▶ Moderate
Program Access Checks
All of my product rows are red in Smartsheet. Should I still proceed with verification?
Why it matters: Some coaches had a ‘unique situation’ requiring Safal to resolve. This should be proactively communicated to affected coaches rather than discovered via the channel.
▶ Moderate
Program Access Checks, Suitability Program Access Check
📐 Standards Alignment, QRC & Certification
When should reviewers certify their votes — as each individual finishes, or as a full team?
Why it matters: Some teams certified prematurely. Answer: team certifies collectively after 100% completion and after errors/feedback have been reviewed.
▲ High Frequency
Standards Alignment
Can teams ‘divide and conquer’ by having each reviewer work on separate TEKS during standards alignment?
Why it matters: TEA advisors at kickoff recommended splitting citations within a breakout — some teams misapplied this to mean separate TEKS. The FAQ should clarify the correct interpretation with an example.
▲ High Frequency
Standards Alignment, General
When should the QRC be reviewed during the meeting — during unpacking or the following week?
Why it matters: The QRC is reviewed right after unpacking the related indicators in the same meeting. Teams should have completed QRC pre-work before arriving. Sequencing should be stated explicitly with a meeting flow diagram.
▲ High Frequency
SuppRLA – Focus, Three-Meeting Cadence
Does Reviewer 5 collect evidence in addition to writing the report?
Why it matters: Multiple coaches asked about R5’s evidence role. Answer: Yes, R5 collects evidence for Evidence 1 (the QRC) and records votes/reasons for rejection. This is different from prior years.
▲ High Frequency
General, Three-Meeting Cadence, Standards Alignment
📚 Supplemental Review (SuppRLA & SuppMath)
If my product’s indicators don’t apply to a given review week, do we still hold a team meeting?
Why it matters: Most-discussed question in SuppRLA. After LQ training, programs receive differentiated product-specific schedules. The FAQ should include the definitive answer and reference how to find the differentiated schedule.
▲ High Frequency
SuppRLA – Focus
Do we evaluate all LQ indicators on the Review Schedule, or only the ones that match the publisher’s selected categories?
Why it matters: TEA Learn course content and the Review Schedule appeared to reference different indicator sets. The FAQ should state clearly which source is authoritative.
▲ High Frequency
SuppRLA – Focus, General
Is there a separate rubric for Supplemental RLA Spanish programs?
Why it matters: Coaches searched for a Spanish-specific rubric that does not exist. One rubric applies to both English and Spanish programs.
▶ Moderate
SuppRLA – Focus
