SCHS Coaching 2.0
Coaching Cycles 2014-2015
How can coaching cycles help you with PGES, SGG, PGP, & the POP?
With the implementation of PGES, and the push towards coaching cycles, Instructional Coaches now have some flexibility for needs-specific, short term support; beyond year-long support. Cycles of 3-9 weeks (long enough for a module or unit), or just consultation meetings are available as the desire to try things (ex: technology integration, project based-learning, implementing new standards) and or getting help with state's new effectiveness system, PGES arises. Also, pairs/teams of teachers who would like support (PLC’s or data teams, for example) can also be coached together.
While the workshop model remains a district-wide expectation, and the incorporation of thinking strategies continues to grow, coaching has become more personalized and flexible. Please contact Fox at fox.demoisey@Shelby.kyschools.us or Maggie Terry at magali.terry@Shelby.kyschools.us to set up an individual conference time.
Work sessions will be held on Tuesday, October 7th after school for PGES support as the SGG, PGP, and POP are due by October 10th.
Teacher Centered
Teacher-centered coaching focuses on growing instructional practices
Student Centered
Student-centered hinges a little more immediately on the products of student thinking (student work). This can feed neatly from the data team process and also support movement toward student growth goals.
