My Role

Get in the Race

As instructional coach I am available to collaborate with Ballard Middle School staff in the planning, delivery and reflection of classroom instruction. You can "get in the race" in any of the ways listed below. Don't see what you need on the list? Let me know and we can work on getting you the support you need!

The Warm-up

  1. Setting Goals for Professional Growth

  2. Help gathering resources to use in your classroom.

  3. Help planning of lessons collaboratively.

  4. Look at student data to determine new courses of action in the classroom.

  5. Brainstorm innovative ideas with one another.



The Race

  1. Team Teaching when you want to lower the teacher to student ratio.

  2. Classroom Coverage to give you time to observe other colleagues real time.

  3. Model Lessons to see new curriculum and techniques in action.

  4. Classroom Observations so you can get feedback in areas of your choice.



The Cool-down

  1. Reflection of student learning in your classroom as related to your goals.

  2. Reflection of classroom practice as related to your goals.

  3. Analyze student data related to your new innovations.

  4. Plan a course of action for future learning together in the classroom.
