Learning Coaches PSD Implementation Model 2012-2013
First – the good news! PSD is implementing the learning coach model and has developed a funding process to support it divisionally!
Research says that: To be most successful, a learning coach in a school should be at least .5 f.t.e. in the learning coach role in order to provide the coach with adequate time to dedicate to the work and reduce the complication of having many other responsibilities.
Divisional Coaching Program The PSD Divisional Coaching Program recognizes the diversity and complexity of students that schools serve.
Divisional Coaching Program 10 f.t.e. Learning Coaches to be shared divisionally!
Divisional Coaching Program The Division is planning to support the Coaching Program for three years. Efforts will be made to work toward sustainability.
Divisional Coaching Program Guidelines will help us to ensure success for everyone!
Guideline #1: Implementation at the school level must align with the Division’s vision and purpose of the coaching program.
Guideline #2: The key contact and learning coach must be different people.
Guideline #3: The learning coach must be someone who has participated in the learning coach cohort training program.
Guideline #4: Learning coaches will continue to participate in ongoing professional learning through Learning Services.
Guideline #5: The learning coach must not be an administrator.
Next Steps: • Determine the learning coach f.t.e. designation per school. • Through conversations at the community school level, principals and senior exec. will determine the most effective way to staff the positions at each school. • E.g. .5 f.t.e. coach and .5 f.t.e. classroom teacher in one school • E.g. full time coach shared between schools • Other?
Next Steps: • Share the vision, goals and expectations with LEAD Team • Get staffing in place • Communicate the vision, goals and expectations to all staff members, parents and stakeholders
