Feedback from Instructional Coaches:
HOW HAS PARAMOUNT LEARNING's PROCESS OF CUSTOMIZED COACHING HELPED YOU THIS YEAR?
This process allowed me to continually see the “end product” while focusing on the conduit.
I have learned to become a better listener and assist teachers in a manner that is most effective for our students.

This process has taught me to not always be second guessing myself and that the work that I’ve done has not been in vain. It has helped me to help teachers grow by using self reflection and data to drive information. Coaching is valuable!!
-Dawn Brown
This process has helped to eliminate the routine of formality. Too much time is wasted in education by doing things that are ineffective. I have learned to be targeted and specific.

This process has helped me understand “what” to look for based on data & conversations with teachers. I learned to examine components of needs, deeper to identify the true need that should be addressed.

This process allowed me to reflect on the tasks that were in motion in the building and reflect on what is working/not working. It provides a strategic means for taking action on what was not working and creating a plan.

This process has helped me to see just how effective I really am. It has also helped me to see my own weaknesses and areas where I need growth.
-Delisa Long
The process was very helpful because it made me focus on specifics. It also gave me and opportunity to prove my worth. It made a list that provided steps to follow to make me better as well as the teachers I work with.
-Gwen Lorthridge
It has helped me prioritize the staff PL/ monitoring/ instructional strategies that, as an Instructional Specialist, I should focus on throughout the school year- by identifying needs in my building. I’ve learned that I cannot have a “trillion” focuses.
-Chaka Cobb
This process has helped me to have more of a consistent “focus” with teacher needs and I’ve learned to balance my work with the demands of the administrator along with allowing teacher needs to be my driving force- when planning and providing professional development. Teacher actions and outcomes are my evidence and that drives my instruction.
-Shanekia Williams
This process has helped me to establish goals and work towards those goals. I have learned I am a great communicator of the change process because I take time to plan and organize before implementation.
