“Coaches” were once found only on the athletic field, yet currently coaching
for effective instruction is rapidly increasing in elementary, middle, and
high schools across North America. Effective literacy coaches support
teachers in becoming more thoughtful and knowledgeable about their
instruction and help significantly improve student outcomes. This collection
of on-line resources showcases literacy coaching as part of an ongoing
professional development process through which classroom teachers deepen
their literacy understandings, instructional methods, and assessment
strategies. Approaches to coaching and literacy models embraced by schools
and districts are quite varied, as are the challenges. The resources
included here can support both coaches and districts considering a coaching
model, as well as the policymakers who legislate and fund such professional
development efforts.
