Teachers Coaching Teachers (TCT) is a coaching program where you can voluntarily access a trained and experienced instructional coach for side by side coaching when you have instructional goals you would like to achieve. TCT is confidential, non-evaluative, individualized and focused on one thing: your SUCCESS!

Vision: The Teachers Coaching Teachers program empowers educators to increase instructional effectiveness to positively impact the whole child.

Mission: The Teachers Coaching Teachers program provides personalized, confidential, non-evaluative instructional coaching for educators who seek to improve their teaching practice.

We Believe in:

• The inherent worth of every teacher and student, the power of equitable practice, and supporting teachers to unleash their potential

• Equity, diversity, and inclusion enriches and strengthens teachers, students, and their environments

• Continuous learning and innovation are necessary for teacher and student growth

• Integrity and building trust are fundamental to the coaching relationship

Workshop Model: Workshops are all designed to help support the implementation of specific procedures, strategies, or activities to advance student social-emotional health and academic performance. All workshops align with SSD's Strategic Plan and Profile of Graduate. Up to four workshops will be offered each term.

Book Clubs: Interweaving pleasure and practicality makes educator book clubs a powerful option for employees looking for a fresh approach to their professional learning. Busy school days rarely allow staff to talk socially or professionally. With book clubs, educators get together and enjoy literature and the social nature of a book club while they probe topics from different angles. Participants read and discuss literature, analyze their personal preferences for reading, reflect on classroom practices, and modify classroom practices on the basis of what is learned.

Students learn more when their teachers collaborate.

In addition to our Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), we approach student achievement with annual reviews of anecdotal and student performance data. In 22-23, participating teachers will collaborate with grade-level colleagues and cross-grade-level colleagues to analyze district assessment data and Common Formative Assessment (CFA) data, identify trends, and develop lessons in support of learner needs. Teams will review and refine curricular resources and assessments.
