Ms. Margot Zahner
Literacy Instructional Coach
Teachers working together to continuously improve student learning.
Teachers and coaches are partners in helping children reach their full academic potential. Instructional coaches work to increase student achievement by providing a safe and confidential learning environment in which teachers can openly discuss challenges they face and ideas they have. Instructional Coaches do not evaluate teachers. Instructional coaches facilitate on-going, job-specific professional growth opportunities for teachers focused on student learning. Coaches can provide teachers with support in the areas of curriculum, instruction, assessment and classroom management.
Instructional Coaches can help
- Plan lessons, units or learning activies
- Model or co-teach lessons
- Observe student learning
- Facilitate peer observation of colleagues
- Reflect on student learning
- Discuss assessments/data
- Establish and meet SMART goals
- Explore curriculum, standards and pacing guides
