Instructional Coaching. . . The beginning of Blog Posts

This is hopefully the beginning of some blog posts that I do to reinforce my learning about instructional coaching. I am currently at the Jim Knight Conference for Instructional Coaching and it has been a full day of GREAT information! To start with, I will like you to his blog to give you some insights and resources directly from the source: I would HIGHLY recommend reading or following his blog as a professional resource.

I think sometimes teachers view coaches from a fearful perspective, but we are trying to overcome that negative vibe and show that we are actually very helpful in many aspects of teacher and school development.

So, check out Jim Knight's blog! Its a great one! :)

Teachers Pay Teachers

Have you ever thought, "Why in the world am I making this? Don't you think someone might have already made this?" Well, you may save yourself a LOT of time by checking out TeachersPayTeachers. I don't actually sell items on there, but they do have a plethora of FREE items and downloads. (Just make sure to thank the kind teachers that you borrow from.) You know what they say: Time is Money- well if you are a creative individual and want to support your teaching addiction, think about putting some of your items up for payment.
