Instructional Coach

2 weeks ago

Roanoke, United States Roanoke City Public Schools Full time
General Responsibilities

The Instructional Coach serves as part of a leadership team within a school providing job-embedded and ongoing professional reflection and learning for teachers. Coaches provide support to principals and teacher leaders as they work with the Professional Learning Community model and the 8-step process to analyze student work and data and to plan formative professional development. Coaches provide professional development and guidance for teachers to enhance their content knowledge and instructional strategies. The effective coach is seen as an equal partner with both novice and experienced teachers, spending the majority of the time working in classrooms (i.e., modeling, observing, co-teaching, debriefing). The instructional coach is non-supervisory and non-evaluative. The coach advocates for, facilitates, and co-constructs formative feedback exchanges among teachers, but never supervises. Overall, the job of the instructional coach is to build the intellectual capacity of school staffs to meet the learning needs of all students.
