My first few years teaching we had a coach at my school that was not super helpful as she had zero middle school experience and she basically acted like an assistant to the English Supervisor and was not trustworthy.  She left and they did not keep the position for about 7-8 years.  Fast forward, they wanted to add a coach back in so 3 years ago they hired from within and hired one of our teachers to be the coach and it was wonderful to have someone trained to do the job well.

learning and practicing specific strategies are the most helpful- strategies for getting students engaged and for increasing participation. Also adding how to handle specific things that come up in class- like students coming in late, etc. ... getting burnt out on non participation, etc.

Last year I can say that I liked Tia  coming in but not feeling overwhelming. I also liked that it didn't have a micromanaged feel to it. I appreciated being able to reach out to her through email and getting ideas/bouncing off ideas.

I have not had a coach here at ISPA but when I taught in rural South Carolina, I had many coaches in and out of my classroom regularly. I loved the experience. All the coaches had different expertise and brought so much insight that sometimes I wasn't even thinking of in the mix of everything.

The "coach" was the principal and she ultimately tied it to our evaluations so when we did not do what she wanted she docked us points. Very stressful and not helpful at all
