How did we do this:

◦Ask my administrators and my librarian for their support.

◦I had to find out what teachers knew about the program.

◦I called Earning by Learning for their support

◦1 on 1”honest-Talks” with each of my teachers.

Responses

◦“I don’t have time.”

◦“I don’t know how to”

Building a relationship of trust is the KEY

element for instructional coaches.

Come up with a plan

◦We created student’s AR folders.

◦We created AR walls to motivate students.

Take the teachers by the hand and do it together with them.

This School Year

◦We are rolling the program school wide.

◦ Monthly competition per grade level.

◦The winners will get a trophy and we will hang a flag outside their doors.

OUR CLASSROOMS!
