Creating a school culture that produces powerful literacy practices requires a multi-faceted system of support. The role of the literacy coach is embedded within this larger system, and in assuming this role, Angela enjoys working beside teachers as they uncover and implement curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices that serve their students best. Effective coaches strive to create a respectful, inquiry-based atmosphere where teacher expertise is valued and where professional growth is created collaboratively. Coaching relationships provide teachers sustained access to helpful resources, instructional models, and critical feedback as learning communities strive to implement change….together. Over time, effective coaching has the potential to improve instructional practice, teacher morale, and levels of professionalism. Please contact us for more information.
