Coaching Teachers

Individual support and mentoring of teachers are powerful avenues to help them develop their teaching practice and impact student learning. Jana has successfully used this 3-part coaching cycle with teachers at all grade levels: 1) planning a lesson together, 2) observing the teacher teach the lesson, and 3) reflecting together on the lesson and student results. Jana will work with teachers to help them implement a new strategy, solve a classroom challenge, or successfully implement a school focus area (ex. Integrating literacy strategies, student engagement strategies, designing inquiry lessons, etc.) Coaching sessions can be scheduled multiple times throughout the school year in a variety of ways.
