academic coach Utilize a school level Title I specialist as a coach within
the school

Is mentoring/coaching already being implemented in your county/school?
If yes, how can current mentoring/coaching practices best be incorporated into your school?
![Page 20: At a Glance Review: No Child Left Behind Title I School Improvement Requirements Charleston Marriott September 18, 2008 Presented by: Karen Davies, Title](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551557c855034685568b57a3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

![Page 21: At a Glance Review: No Child Left Behind Title I School Improvement Requirements Charleston Marriott September 18, 2008 Presented by: Karen Davies, Title](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551557c855034685568b57a3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
