Research Says:
“Research emphasizes that coaching is a prerequisite for the implementation of new skills or strategies” (Showers, Joyce, & Bennett, 1987 in DuFour & Berkey 1995) like those that are part of differentiated instruction.
This means that “providing teachers with ongoing support after the initial training is critical to the success of any innovation” (DuFour & Berkey 1995).
This is especially true with the implementation of differentiated instruction because most teachers are being asked to change long-standing instructional practices.
Therefore, “leaders need to assist teachers in improving their classroom performance; leaders can look to others, either inside or outside the physical building, but the leader must be certain that help is available” (Hord 1997 b). That is why TEP is here.
If you are forming PLCs, moving into differentiated instruction, implementing writing goals, creating common formative assessments for learning, or starting another initiative, TEP has a coaching service to match your needs. We are here to help you meet your educational goals.
