VISION:
AUSD Cognitive Coaches will empower teachers to equitably impact learning for all students
What is an instructional coach?
Instructional coaches are educational leaders that train teachers and staff, provide resources, feedback, modeling and professional development to help schools meet instructional goals and school improvement goals. Coaching is an avenue that can provide teachers with the support they need by embedding professional development into the coaching process. Instructional Coaches in AUSD are an integral part of our MTSS process as they provide the expertise and skills needed to offer academic, behavioral and social-emotional in class supports with the aim of helping our students demonstrating an opportunity gap or acceleration support. This year, the coaches have been focusing on Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to lead data driven discussions in weekly grade level meetings to promote reflection and targeted classroom instructional practices.
