Innovation & Learning Coaches
Innovation and Learning Coaches partner closely with teachers to enhance student growth, foster innovative practices, and promote collaborative reflection in the classroom.
Who We Are
Innovation and Learning Coaching
Together, coaches and teachers:
- Create success criteria based on the learning intentions
- Utilize student evidence to plan instruction that meets the needs of all learners
- Co-teach using innovative teaching practices
Because coaching is student focused and students have different needs, our coaching staff has diverse experiences in supporting students in their K-12 journeys. Partnering with a coach is a practice we encourage all teachers to explore. This collaborative experience is about building a teacher’s pedagogical prowess and is worthwhile whether teachers are in their first year of teaching, last year of teaching, or anywhere in between.
Specifically, our coaching team includes new teacher coaching to support our first and second year teachers in creating a classroom experience that is engaging and student-centered. Our Innovation & Learning Coaches support the critical foundational skills developed during the elementary grades, infusing both traditional and digital teaching strategies to meet the needs of our 21st Century learners through partnerships with teachers to improve student achievement.
Your ILC Team
All coaches are assigned buildings. Coaching occurs both formally and informally, and most frequently in classrooms with teachers and students. Group collaboration occurs during data team meetings, faculty meetings, and professional development sessions. Digital interaction occurs via online communities, video, e-mail, and various online platforms.
