Instructional Coaches

The purpose of the Instructional Coaching in Lubbock ISD is to support the district’s mission to close the student achievement gap and accelerate learning for all students by building teacher capacity through implementation of effective instructional practices (Casey, 2008).

Lubbock ISD believes in a growth mindset and a supportive environment at all levels of the organization: central administration, principals, teachers and students. Coaching is used to provide support and feedback throughout the organization and to build capacity for instructional improvement by identifying areas of need, recognizing obstacles and options, and developing action plans to support growth.
