What is a Literacy Coach?
“One who helps teachers to recognize what they know and can do, assists teachers as they strengthen their ability to make
more effective use of what they know and do, and supports teachers as they learn
more and do more.”
Cathy Toll, Separating Coaching from Supervising, 2004
