Executive Coaches & Curriculum Supervisors

COSER 332.02

Coaching services provide on-going and job-embedded professional learning for educators. It is available in these strands (and others upon request):

LITERACY COACHING

Coaches work with teams of teachers or individual teachers, providing planning, instructional, data and assessment support. Support is customized, but may consist of facilitated meetings, training, observation and feedback, model lessons or co-teaching.

NYS NEXT GENERATION LEARNING STANDARDS SUPPORT

Instructional coaches will work with teachers implementing NYS Literacy or Math Next Generation Learning Standards. Coaches will support access to materials, scaffolding and pacing instruction, facilitating data discussions to inform adjustments to instruction.

LEADERSHIP COACHING

Coaches work with building principals and assistant principals, helping them do their very demanding jobs more efficiently and effectively. Typically, the coaching is delivered individually, but it can also be provided to small groups of leaders.

TEACHER COACHING

Coaches work with individual teachers or groups of teachers, providing mentorship, guidance and model lessons for individual teachers. Also, they can work with groups of teachers as they plan and deliver NYS Next Generation Learning Standard-aligned lessons and units.
