What do I do if I don't have a literacy coach?

What do I do if I don't have a literacy coach?

In this episode:

Listen in as I talk about What do I do if I don't have a literacy coach/or don't feel supported by my coach.               .

We talk about:

What to do if:

  1. You don’t have a literacy coach on your campus.

  2. You have a coach, but they are overrun by other duties as assigned. 

  3. You have a literacy coach, but they don’t have the capacity to support you.

Quotables:

-Support from a literacy coach does not mean that someone will do the work for you, but it should mean that they will do it alongside you.

-It’s the job of a supportive literacy coach to come alongside you and help you recognize what is going well as well as help you prioritize any areas of growth and hold you accountable for staying the course to get there. 

-This type of support creates an environment for collaborative growth between stakeholders and results in compounded growth in  student performance.
