17. Building Facilitators
6/7 same NTC tool, 7th uses a Google Form so not all minutes/recordings are the same

18. Curriculum Leads
Google Form, no multiplier for minutes

19. Induction Coaches
GWAEA’s expectation for Induction Coaches is a minimum of 180 minutes/month with a goal of minutes per month per new teacher. 100% of our new/beginning teachers are engaging in “High Leverage Practices” with their Induction Coaches: observation cycles, lesson planning, analyzing student work, and/or inquiry cycle action planning.
