[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do instructional coaches do? [/quote]

They literally make more work for teachers.  That's their entire job.  Some of them are nice people and well-liked, but few of us would miss those positions if they were all cut.  [/quote]

I disagree, at least at our school. With all the new teachers, they really help out with their planning and coaching. These teachers have mentors, but they can’t do it all, especially when they’re teaching their own classes. [/quote]

Also with the amount of teacher trainees and novice teachers there is an absolute need for coaching support. I’ve seen first hand that teacher skillset in the county is not what it was 15 years ago. [/quote]

I was a young, naive teacher once.  Do you know who I learned from?  My colleagues at the same grade level.  This is one reasons some of this training needs to be examined much more carefully.

I admit that I worked with colleagues that, for the most part, got along well.  I worked in three different school systems and always learned more from my team.  And, while we did have team meetings from time to time, we also gathered informally after school frequently as friends sharing ideas and suggestions.
