ISP math coaches support teachers in Mehlville, Ritenour, MRH

The collaborative, hands-on nature of ISP-style coaching is grounded in research confirming that mere observation followed by written feedback isn’t effective. What does work is an ongoing relationship punctuated with multiple classroom visits, in-the-moment problem-solving and  meaningful follow-up that elevates a coach from an occasional drop-in guest to a trusted thought partner there for the long haul.

Deepening math learning with 1:1 teacher coaching

The Math Coaching pilot provides ISP an opportunity to connect more deeply with teachers beyond the traditional professional development model. The feedback thus far has been a thumbs-up from teachers, who demonstrate a will to power through despite COVID-19.
