Instructional Coach Weekly Update
Week of Jan. 25-29
Strategy Spotlight
1. Reflective: Teachers are open to feedback from colleagues, students and families; seek opportunities to grow professionally; and take responsibility for their students' learning.
2. Persistent: Teachers hold high expectations and believe that all students can learn. They persevere in solving complex issues of practice, care deeply, and are committed to their students.
3. Curious: Teachers ask questions, inquire, and experiment in an effort to reach every student. They are willing to take risks and try out new ideas or strategies if they think it will help their students.
Would you categorize yourself as having these three character traits? My guess is that you expect all of your students to have this disposition every day they are in your classroom, so what about you? I challenge you to think reflectively this week about these three disposition traits and where you stand with each.
