Literacy Coaching
Literacy Coaching refers to the systematic process of providing ongoing professional development and support to educators in order to improve their literacy instruction practices, with a specific focus on areas such as language arts education and adult education. The coach works collaboratively with teachers to analyze student data, observe classroom instruction, model effective strategies, and provide constructive feedback, all aimed at enhancing learners' literacy skills, including reading comprehension, writing, vocabulary development, and critical thinking. Literacy Coaching is grounded in the principles of adult learning theory, emphasizing self-directed growth, reflection, and continuous improvement. The ultimate goal of literacy coaching is to create a culture of literacy where all learners are empowered to become confident and proficient readers, writers, and communicators.
