Instructional Coaching
Belleville Middle School and High School
Meet the Coach: Melissa Whitmore
I am so excited to begin this adventure with each of you!
I believe that all students can learn.
My main goal as a coach is to challenge all students to become confident learners who are not afraid to take intellectual risks. This is accomplished by supporting the teachers who provide personalized learning that engages those students every day.
If you need anything, just let me know!

What is student centered coaching?
Student-centered coaching is a highly-effective, evidence-based coaching model where coaches collaborate alongside teachers to design instruction that targets student outcomes.
Basically, that means:
- We have an opportunity to partner together and co-teach
- We focus on data and student work to analyze progress
- We analyze data to drive our instructional decisions
- We delve into Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards to guide our learning goals
- We engage all learners and help them grow through personalized learning
What does an instructional coach do?
An instructional coach is your partner in crime in the classroom! We work together, co-planning and co-teaching to increase all student learning.
What does a coaching cycle look like?
A coaching cycle is the time we spend working together in your classroom. Check out the video below!
