This fall, for the first time in my career, I find myself without a classroom full of eager (and truthfully not so eager) students who I hope will come along on a journey of exploration and learning with me. Instead, this year, my charges are the teachers themselves as I am now an Instructional coach. In this new role I find both challenges and celebrations, and wish to record, remember, and reflect on these as they occur. Turn the page... and come along.
FYI-
Instructional Coaching - A professional development model for teachers whereby student achievement is improved through the guided implementation of evidence based teaching practices and strategies. Coaches are paired to work with classroom teachers "on the job" to improve what they do. The model of instructional coaching my job employs is loosely based on the research and design of Jim Knight.
