Goal+and+Evidence+2012

Goal: I will encourage teacher participation during coaching in order to increase the use of instructional practices that will improve student learning by researching and implementing best practices for literacy coaches.

While working with 7th grade teachers on a research project, both the ELA teacher and I modeled the creation of a research question. We continued the process by each writing a different thesis, introductory paragraph, and concluding paragraph.



While working with a 6th grade ELA class, I demonstrated convention lessons and left the charts with the class to add to as the classroom teacher reinforced the skills being taught and using context from what the students are reading to teach conventions and grammar.

While working with a 7th grade social studies teacher, I demonstrated a lesson on persuasive writing for the first two class periods, then we co-taught the lesson, and finally he taught the lesson on his own.
