EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 16 and June 17, 2008, Stephen Barkley will provide two full-day coaching skills sessions for all Cadre Nine elementary reading coach candidates, Mort Elementary reading camp teachers, members of the Cadre One Model Coach School teams, assistant principals, and principals to provide strategies for working within a school site to provide coaching and professional development follow-up for educators at their school sites.
As part of our new Model Coaching School Initiative, eight elementary schools will be invited to continue their knowledge building and communication skills as a continuation of the work they started with Mr. Barkley in March of this school year. In order to build more capacity within coaching throughout the district, new coaching candidates as well as the teachers they will be working with this summer at Mort Elementary, will be invited to the two-day workshop. Schools will continue to participate in this initiative through the 2008/2009 school year by participating in collaboration sessions with other model schools. Elementary staff members will provide onsite progress monitoring and support for schools as well as coordinate methods of sharing successful implementation through professional development sessions and site visits to model schools.
