Instructional Coaches Mentoring Strategies
Example
Building relationships encourages teachers to take chances and gives them energy to continue development. When teachers find a connection to their new learning they build self direction of wanting more and to improve. A strong connection to the coach and other staff and teachers brings in motivation across the board for school success.
An instructional coach should be a visible person around classrooms and campus connecting to teachers and listening actively to their thoughts.

Mentoring strategies
Example
Modeling and supporting data analysis for instruction supports teachers in seeing the needs of the students and can work towards closing the gaps. Learning the importance of data will support teachers in being able to catch the gaps and needs within a lesson and it's assessment.

Mentoring Strategies
Example
Modeling supports, ongoing development of teachers in giving them ability to see best practices in action and then trying it for themselves. Once the practices have reached a comfort level the teacher can now independently use them in the classroom and continue to improve upon them. When a practice is successful the teacher will experience the positive benefits and growth, empowering them to continue to grow.
Model a guided reading lesson where the teacher can take notes on practices they see and connect to. After the model lesson and debrief the teacher can integrate and practice with the coach as a guide, mentor, or co-teacher.

Mentoring Strategies
Example
By providing feedback and support, teachers will be able to grow in their development and know what to modify or celebrate in their success. With feedback or next steps given, teachers can reflect on their lessons and plan strategically. When feedback is given thoughtfully and support is offered a teacher will feel motivated to develop further or remain with the successful routine.
After modeling a guided reading lesson the teacher can try a lesson on their own or co-teach. After these lessons an instructional coach would provide feedback and plan next steps.
