The Coaches Quarters
Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to be taking on an instructional leader role here at Berg middle school. My role is to support and empower our amazing teachers (YOU!), enhance instructional practices, and ultimately improve student learning outcomes. Through personalized guidance, collaborative planning, and a focus on continuous improvement, I'm committed to fostering a positive and dynamic learning environment for both educators and students alike. Together, let's drive excellence in teaching and learning as we navigate through a journey together!

As an instructional coach at BMS, my responsibilities and structure for my days will vary depending on the specific needs of our building and district, but here's a quick look at what you will observe and come to expect from me:
Building relationships: Establishing and maintaining positive relationships with teachers, administrators, and other staff members. Building trust and rapport is high priority for me, in order to effectively support teachers in their professional growth and foster a collaborative culture at BMS.
Collaborating with Teachers: Working closely with teachers to support their professional growth and development. This is likely to include observing and participating in classrooms, providing feedback, and offering guidance on instructional strategies, lesson planning, and classroom management techniques.
