Most D-11 coaching programs were represented. The group studied a total of 14 coaching programs to determine a structure that could provide effective coaching support for all district teachers.

How could TLC’s use these services? 1) When you see that a successful and motivated teacher needs a challenge (National Board) 2) If you’d like a teacher to be able to have time to observe and talk with another teacher who does something exceptionally well (Peer Coaching Collegial Observation Module) 3) If you know a couple of teachers working on similar goals that could benefit from a structured process that allows for extra paid time or credit hours to work on a collaborative goal (Peer Coaching Modules) 4) If you’d like some coaching back-up or someone to talk to (Instructional Coaching)
