Course Description

Invest (in-vest) to devote one’s time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result.

 

Research proves that supporting teachers in their development of knowledge and skill is the most important thing we can do to improve outcomes for learners. The Sutton Trust reports that during one year with a very effective teacher, pupils gain 40% more in their learning than they would with a poorly performing teacher. Also, pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds gain an extra year’s worth of learning under very effective teachers compared to poorly performing teachers.  

Literacy coaches have a powerful opportunity to provide that ongoing job-embedded support to teachers that results in increased teacher capacity. They create spaces for professional development, on-site training, modeling, and immediate feedback for improving literacy practices.  

 

Literacy coaches: teachers are our most valuable resource when measuring student success. Let’s invest in them.

Targeted Audience is Elementary Instructional Coaches and District ELA Coordinators. 

This course supports House Bill 538.
