Literacy 

The role of literacy coaches is support student achievement and improve a reflective and collaborative professional culture. Literacy includes reading, writing, listening, speaking, and thinking. Balanced literacy is an instructional framework that scaffolds students’ learning and fosters their literacy success. Students receive explicit instruction in foundational literacy skills, word recognition skills, vocabulary development, comprehension, fluency, and writing. The teacher models new strategies, provides shared practice opportunities, and coaches students in the application of the new learning in guided reading and writing lessons. The ultimate goal of literacy instruction is that students independently use these literacy strategies in a variety of texts and contexts.

Intervention Support

 Intervention Teachers: 
 Provide supplementary support for students beyond the core curriculum.
 Use the K-8 Intervention Procedural Guide to find recommended resources, student selection processes, and program models.
 Select students for service based on data showing they have the greatest need for supplementary intervention.
 Follow best practices and use data to design and adjust interventions to meet the targeted needs of students
