Teaching Partners

The purpose of the Instructional Coaching (Teaching Partner) Model  

is to help close the student achievement gap and accelerate learning for all students by building teacher capacity through the implementation of effective instructional practices (Casey, 2008).

The coaching model recognizes the needs of each individual teacher and is tied to a School Improvement Plan and the District’s Strategic Plan. In this way, effective collaboration can result in the ultimate goal of improved student performance. 

“Instructional coaching is fundamentally about teachers, teacher leaders, school administrators and central office leaders examining practice in reflective ways with a strong focus on student learning and results as the ultimate barometer of improvement” (Annenberg Institute for School Reform).
