Over the past couple of years I have thoroughly benefited from having a coaching relationship with Dana and Jocelyn. They have helped me with the problem solving of the issues that came up in past lessons and on the spot when they are in the classroom to observe. They have come in during my planning periods to help plan and review things that I may have needed assistance with.
They are eager to assist with students who are struggling, both in small groups and individually when in the actual classroom. This hands-on assistance is important as students get to see how everyone on all levels, the teacher and others, are committed to seeing them reach levels of growth and success as they prepare for upcoming state tests.
The feedback given after each visit helped me and my co-teacher to grow as professionals. They always offered "grows and glows," that allowed us to be proud of what we were doing well, and gave us valid suggestions to implement immediately in the next lesson. Dana and Jocelyn were always available via email to answer any concerns that may come up, and responded in a timely fashion. This benefited the students greatly.
