INSTRUCTIONAL COACH

• Aug 2016 - Present

As an Instructional Coach my duties of support and professional learning opportunities have expanded to include all content areas and encompasses three elementary buildings and approximately supporting sixty-six teachers and hopefully three one period a day coaches. One of the major goals of the leadership team is to build and support a student-centered learning environment for all learners. It is exciting to be a part of a transforming culture. Building teacher capacity through the coaching model will build and strengthen our teacher leadership and collaboration in our district. Coaching is a small part of the support network and as the teachers grow in confidence and collaboration becomes the norm - coaching will become a vital role that every teacher leader will feel confident in sharing their expertise.
