This year EC-5 is excited to welcome four Instructional Coaches to our staff. We are excited to build a team of eight EC-12. So you may be thinking, how can I work with the Instructional Coaches, what's their role? The coaching postion is to support instruction and provide job-embedded professional development to all staff. Coaches are excited and ready to work with staff in innovating, risk-taking, trying new instructional techniques or working on continuous improvement of instruction in your classroom. Many of you are used to having coaches in your building and already have begun working with them. For those of you who might be new to working with coaches or are just looking to get started...here are a few things that would be a great ways to begin to connect and collaborate with your coach:
- Bring concepts and research of personalized learning to life in your classroom
- Ask them to watch a lesson and provide you with feedabck
- Try a new strategy or technique by co-teaching with them
- Try something out of your comfort zone on the Legacy, Differentiated, Individualized, and Personalized spectrum
- Design opportunities to use and reflect on their Learner Profile
These are just a few ideas to get you thinking. Please reach out and connect with your coach today! If you would like to set up time with a coach, stop and see them in their office or their Coaching Corner, email them, or at the K-5 level you can use this
coaching request form. We are looking forward to a great year of learning for all!
