Join us across the school year to connect with national experts in the fields of literacy and coaching. At each network session, participants will “tool up” with one teaching practice to share with teachers and one coaching move to support teachers. Finishing out each session, Kathy Schmitt will support skill development to effectively apply Cathy Toll’s ‘Problem Solving Coaching Model’.


September 19, 2017: Jan Burkins and Kim Yaris

Teaching Topic: How Teachers Can Say Less so Students Can Do More 
In this session, participants will explore students’ reading processes and examine their instruction to identify places where they are doing the work for students, creating dependency, and interfering with student growth. Simple adjustments to instruction can lead to powerful shifts in student engagement and empower students to do the work of becoming better readers.

Coaching Topic: How Coaches Can Say Less so Teachers Can Do More
The core of a coach’s work is to support teachers in reflective practices that are sustainable, so that they continue to grow long after the professional learning experience has ended. The ways we prompt teachers to reflect and plan can create self-extending learning systems. Participants will learn ways to let teachers do the work in professional learning experiences.
