TLA Supports Coaches
Instructional coaches are guiding the change process from within classrooms while often juggling direct service, consultation to administrators, and facilitation of workshops, leadership teams, data analysis exercises, and planning sessions. A partnership with Teaching and Learning Alliance can help coaches tackle and master this work.
