Department of Education.

Data collected over a two-year period shows a 21% increase in the number of minutes devoted to direct coaching between the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years, indicating that as our coaches become more comfortable and skilled in their roles, their time spent coaching increases. This plays a significant role in teacher application; Joyce and Showers&#8217; (2002) review of 200 studies concluded that professional development that includes coaching and feedback has a 95% rate of transfer into classroom practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50

When teachers prioritize community, students feel valued, connected, and more comfortable sharing their ideas and perspectives. This sense of belonging enhances engagement, encourages open dialogue, and helps students take risks in reading and writing. A strong classroom community also promotes empathy, respect for diverse voices, and a shared responsibility for learning, empowering students to grow not only as readers and writers but as thoughtful and compassionate individuals. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 10pt\"><a
