Historically, the culture of schools isolates teachers in the classroom. One way to expand your opportunities to share your experience and leadership is by notifying the NESS School Liaison that you are interested in coaching a new educator.
Instructional Coaches are responsible for communicating the needs of the organization and supporting the professional growth of the New Educator. All schools in Broward County are developing site-based induction programs. As an Instructional Coach your input will influence the improvement of those systems. Moreover, as an Instructional Coach you will have the satisfaction that you helped a new teacher transition into the profession.
The reflective nature of mentoring also provides opportunities for you to reexamine and improve your own practice. This revitalization benefits your school, colleagues, you, and your students as it buttresses your professional experiences.
