Literacy Coaching
• Research shows that one of the best ways of improving the teaching of literacy is through coaching.
• Responsibility for literacy within schools is cross-curricular. Therefore literacy coaching is not just for English teachers!
• Why do you think it’s better if the coach comes from within the context?

Coaching continued.
• Think about our changing work conditions. Teachers have less time and more demands than ever. How could you make the coaching process a ‘positive’ in your role?

Thinking time.
• Think about what is important to you as a teacher. How important is data? How important are learning experiences?

The coaching process.
• The coaching process can take a variety of forms.
• However, most importantly, it should be:• CONFIDENTIAL• SUPPORTIVE,
and TAILORED TO THE COACHEE’S NEEDS…
