2. How did we do this: ◦ Ask my administrators and my librarian for their support. ◦ I had to find out what teachers knew about the program. ◦ I called Earning by Learning for their support ◦ 1 on 1”honest-Talks” with each of my teachers.

3. Responses ◦ “I don’t have time.” ◦ “I don’t know how to”

4. Building a relationship of trust is the KEY element for instructional coaches.

5. Come up with a plan ◦ We created student’s AR folders. ◦ We created AR walls to motivate students. Take the teachers by the hand and do it together with them.

6. This School Year ◦ We are rolling the program school wide. ◦ Monthly competition per grade level. ◦ The winners will get a trophy and we will hang a flag outside their doors.
