What is an Instructional Coach?

Home

Through my eyes, an Institutional Coach is a resource in the building that teachers can go to, to gain insight on educational best practices.

My Mission:

Always being a listening ear for teachers to bounce ideas off, free of judgement. Building a repertoire of skills and assets to help teachers become the best versions of themselves.

Goals & Values:

I value advocating for teachers, and being a voice for them when they do not feel as if theirs is being heard.
I never want teachers to be intimidated by my presence. I will never cast judgements.
Before adding more to my teacher’s plates, I want to make sure I am knowledgeable enough on the topic to answer any questions the teachers may have.

Goals & Values:

Full understanding of curriculum
Observing classrooms to better understand teachers needs.
Modeling when necessary.
Mentoring
Helping teachers break down & understand data
