Signature assignment classroom management plan

Scenario: You have been recently hired as an academic coach in a school. The principal has asked you to work with a grade-level/content area team consisting of three teachers. One is a new teacher who needs support with implementing assessments in her classroom. One is an experienced teacher who needs support to integrate technology into his lessons. The third teacher has recently switched to a special education position and needs help differentiating instruction for special needs learners.

Select one of these teachers and develop a plan to coach this teacher. The plan should highlight research-based coaching and mentoring strategies and not necessarily information pertaining to the subject area expertise of the coach.

Coaching Goal 2: Support experienced teacher in integrating technology in lessons.
Coaching Goal 3: Assist teacher who recently changed to special education in differentiating instruction for special needs learners.
