Supporting Teachers
Coaching helps teachers get a clear picture of current reality, identify goals, pick teaching strategies to meet the goals, monitor progress, and problem solve until the goals are met. To put it simply… instructional coaching makes it easier for teachers to meet the needs of their students.
As a a coach, I will...
... provide one-on-one support and coaching to teachers based on their specific needs and goals. This might involve assisting the learning of new technology, offering feedback on instructional practices, or providing resources and strategies to address classroom challenges. >> One-on-one support will include a personalized plan for your professional development.
... facilitate coaching cycles. This begins with a pre-conference to determine what you are wanting or needing to work on. During the pre-conference, I expect to help you create an area of focus and set a goal(s). We can spend time collaborating on a lesson, learn a new strategy edtech tool, or whatever you'd like to include as part of your next step. The next step(s) will be to observe you 'in action'. During the observation, you can expect me to take notes specific to your area of focus. After the observation, you will have a post-conference to reflect, together - discuss the data collected and the next steps to take. In addition.
I expect to extend my support of your goals by offering resources and further support so you can continue to work towards your goal(s).
