[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are all these PPs who are saying instructional coaching isn't necessary?  Professional athletes--the best in the game--have coaches.  In business, you have mentors to bounce ideas off and guide you.  Even the best teachers can benefit from another professional's take.  Each year, they get a new crop of kids, with a new crop of challenges.  And that is before you even consider new hires and changes in curriculum.  [/quote]

Because the Head Start instructional coaching that DCPS provides is not actually very good.[/quote]

And what criteria are you using to assess the quality? Please enlighten us.[/quote]

The teachers all tell me it's stupid and boring.[/quote]

Ha! My Head Start teachers say the same thing...they hate having someone looking over their shoulders to make sure they're adhering to the HS standards. [/quote]

Too bad. The instructional coaches help support the teachers with implementing the curriculum properly.[/quote]

If you need someone to make sure a teacher implements the curriculum correctly you need to fire a teacher. I would be very worried about any school that talked like this. I want admin and the district to trust the teachers. If you can’t trust them to implement curriculum (their job) what CAN you trust them to do?? [/quote]
