This is our first year as Instructional Coaches in Salisbury Township School District. We work with small groups of teachers, the whole faculty, and individual teachers on instruction. We support our teachers in technology and literacy strategies. We also meet with individual teachers to discuss instruction, management, content, and assessment.

PLC ResourcesOur schools are working in Professional Learning Communities. Some groups are maintaining NING sites, diigo groups. or google docs of their meetings/notes. Other groups are storing their information in folders on our internal shared drive. Meeting Notes - Teachers use this template for notes on their PLC meetings.

SMART Goal Setting Plan - Teachers used this to create a goal.

Action Plan

IC Coach Log One of the first things we created collaboratively was a weekly template for a coach log. We complete the log weekly to gather data on our experiences.

There is a wealth of resources on Jennifer Dorman's (Discovery Account Manager) PPLN wiki including her recently delivered keynote address entitled "Powering Up Your PLN", Stages of PLN Adoption, the Benefits to a PLN, and ton of other resources.
