Instructional Coaches play the part of the critical friend for teachers. Someone to bounce ideas off and reshape the way we look at our classrooms. They allow us to move away from the isolated box of teaching to a more visible model of instruction where we can critically assess what works best for the students in our care. We want our students to collaborate and grow, what better way to show them it works then to model it through Instructional Coaches. Although I still am caught up in the term “coach”, I love the model.
