How does your site match an Instructional Coach to a New Educator? This is one of the most important decisions that the Principal and the NESS Liaison make in supporting the New Educator. If the Instructional Coach has little to offer or if they cannot get along with the New Educator, the New Educator will usually suffer in silence. Therefore when matching the Instructional Coach with the New Educator consider some of the following:
1. Similar job assignments, close proximity, and common plan or lunch periods
2. experience differences of 5+ years are often sought but can not always be accomplished
3. often the principal does the recruiting and is usually in the best position to help decide on matching
4. allow the new educator to participate in the decision making process.
