Jodi Bang

Position: Peer Coach

Office Location (when in-person): OGM Room 406

Coaching Assignments: Oak Grove Middle School and Oak Grove Elementary

Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year!

I know this will be a year of teaching like no other and I am honored to be able to support teachers through all of it. Teachers are superheroes and together we can do this!

I am a third year peer coach, and will serve Oak Grove Middle School and Oak Grove Elementary School. I taught 8th grade math for 13 years - two in Maplewood and 11 at Valley View Middle - prior to moving into this coaching position. I am thrilled to be serving teachers in this capacity in Bloomington Public Schools.

I live with my husband, Bob, and our two energetic boys. We love spending time outside hiking and playing at parks. I enjoy yoga, reading, and camping.

Tenured staff will be observed twice during the 20-21 school year. Below are timeframes I plan to follow for planning meetings, observations, and wrap-up meetings. I will communicate the days and weeks I will be at each of my sites via email. Details for sign-ups will be communicated in late-September.
