Lesson Planning for Coaches

As a literacy coach, one of my strong suits is lesson planning. Over the years I have learned that lesson planning as a coach must be focused and targeted. You must be sure to recognize the needs of your students, but also the needs of each of your teachers. Today, I will walk you through the steps of what I do to Pre-plan for a common planning session. When you prepare this way, your teachers will value the resources you provide. They will also begin to come more prepared because they know you will be prepared and will want to contribute to the planning. This process doesn't become successful overnight. But, be patient. You will soon see the fruits of your labor. Happy planning!
