Instructional Coaches
Instructional Coaching connects coaches with teachers to help them enhance teaching and learning so students are more successful. Started as a practice by Jim Knight of the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning, an Instructional Coach encourages self-assessment as a tool to identify areas for support or skills-building.
With a combined amazing 65+ years of teaching experience between them, Susan Frediani and Yvonne Casalnuovo are able to offer insight and strategies for both new and veteran teachers through a variety of channels, including Instructional Coaching, implementing training for new initiatives like understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and helping to structure the district-wide meetings for specific subject-area educators. They also work with analysis of student assessment data as well as coordinate the district supported teacher Induction program.
