Learning Coaches- Welcome to Baldwinsville!

What is a Learning Coach?

“Coaching is a confidential process through which two or more professional colleagues work together to reflect on current practices; expand, refine, and build new skills; share ideas; teach one another; conduct classroom research; or solve problems in the workplace”.1

Learning coaches work in small groups and one-on-one:
building instructional strategies to engage students and improve student learningsolving classroom and academic challengesdeveloping lessons and units of instructiondiscussing student assessment data and plan for future learning
Our overall goal is to maximize student success!

We are available to work together individually or with your team.
