What is the Value of a Coach?
Every time a coach helps a teacher implement a new teaching or learning strategy, the coach is helping every other student that teacher will teach. One step forward for a teacher is one step forward for hundreds or thousands of children.
Multiply that impact by all that a coach does every day, and you get a clear picture of the value of instructional coaches.
