AmplifyInstructional Coach
Jan. 2022RemoteAs an instructional coach I work actively to collaborate with district leadership and the Amplify CKLA Professional Development Partnership Manager to determine strategy and focus for coaching approach at different times of year and adjust course, as needed, based on what is leading to improved student outcomes. At times, adjusting course on short notice to meet districtโs goals and priorities. Specific areas of focus may include: Leading classroom observations and providing feedback to teachers and leaders Conducting model lessons and co-teaching alongside classroom teachers Providing office hours for leaders and teachers Facilitating professional development sessions (in person and remote), as needed, for leaders and teachers on prioritized topics which align to successes and needs in classrooms Supporting unit/lesson planning with grade-level teams and/or individual teachers Leading lesson study cycles for teachers Analyzing student work and formative assessment data to support instructional decision-making and responsiveness to learner outcomes Cultivating model classrooms (and capturing video examples from these classrooms) as a means of elevating and replicating best practices for planning and instruction Creating or customizing professional development experiences, as needed Providing recommendations to educators designed to enhance equity of learning for diverse student populations including Students with Learning & Thinking Differences and English Learners Travel to schools regularly (up to 5 days per week) to deliver services and build strong academic relationships Build knowledge about other Amplify early literacy programs (mCLASS, Amplify Reading) in order to support a cohesive educator experience across products Proactively seek out feedback and adapt practice based upon the feedback and what is leading to improved student outcomes
