Continuous Improvement Center

Welcome to the Coach's Corner Continuous Improvement Center! Probably the biggest question we get as it this: What is a Continue Improvement Coach (formaly known as a Teaching and Learning Coach)? So, we thought we would take a minute and tell you all about our role as your Continues Improvement Coaches. Stated best by Joelle Kion and Cindy Harrison, "Part teacher, part leader, part change agent, and part facilitator, instructional coaches work directly with teachers and students in their classroom to assist with the application of new knowledge and skills necessary to improve the academic performance of students." What does this mean for you? Our goal is to build trusting relationships with teachers and teams in order to take a collaborative approach to planning, teaching and learning. This includes collaborating to try new procatices based on classroom observations, student-specific feedback, and examing student data and behavior.
