On-site Coaching / Mentoring

On-site coaching visits are highly successful because teachers and administrators benefit from practical feedback provided by the consultant. Teachers typically acknowledge these on-site coaching visits as administrative support for the program.

Teachers will bring strategies they have learned during an in-service and immediately apply them in their classrooms. Unfortunately, most teachers will not practice these new strategies before implementing them with their students. If and when the strategies are less effective than the teacher’s expectation, the teacher will begin fixing the problem. However, teachers do not always keep in mind what makes the strategy successful; therefore, the teacher’s fix tends to tweak out what made the strategy work, and now things are worse. This coaching visit will provide teachers with the adjustments needed to make the new strategies effective.
