The final piece of the PD puzzle is to ensure that you grow the expertise in your school so that you can maintain the fidelity and the longevity of this school-wide approach to reading instruction.
There is nothing worse than getting everyone up to speed and then seeing it get watered down by staff attrition and wavering focus.
We can put systems in place that will future-proof SharpReading and make us redundant.
Our 'Become a SharpReading Coach' training identifies the SharpReading champions in your school and builds their enthusiasm and skill set so that they can monitor and maintain the school-wide delivery.
There are two parts within this course
Complete the in-your own-time lessons and practical assignments in the ONLiNE Course and we will list you as a Provisional SharpReading Coach.
This means you have acquired the knowledge and the skills to be able to step into the initial role of a School Coach.
HOWEVER, there are limitations about what you can and can't do. We are NOT yet ready to fully unleash you on your colleagues!
This will all be sorted in the second part of the course which will result in your full COACH ACCREDITATION
Coach Mentoring and Coach Accreditation
The latter units in the course outline this mentoring process that helps you successfully navigate what can become a professional minefield - giving feedback to your teaching colleagues.
This training needs to be done face-to-face with a consultant in your teachers' classrooms. We can easily incorporate this into the Step 4: In-School Support sessions and we can do this ON-SITE or OFF-SITE (via Zoom meetings).
COST of Coach ONLiNE Course: $250 NZ (+GST) per coach
COST of Mentoring and Coach Accreditation:
There is NO additional cost if your school has engaged a SharpReading Consultant for In-School Support. The mentoring occurs as the coach-in-training accompanies the consultant during In-Class support.
