(Teachers are overwhelmed.) But when I have, it's usually an optional book club. One year we read Igniting a Passion for Reading, and another year we read Whole Brain Teaching. They both resulted in some positive outcomes for those who chose to participate.

My best advice is to be a partner to the teachers; offer support where it's needed, but be a team player and listen to teachers as they share their ideas. Be genuinely interested in their ideas and plans, and look for opportunities to add value by supporting teachers in the areas they'd like support in.Ms. Chrissy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18269577180650924790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049873368665149347.post-70482601116151622942017-08-14T21:04:25.445-06:002017-08-14T21:04:25.445-06:00Thank you so much for your kind words :) I really ...Thank you so much for your kind words :) I really appreciate you responding.

I was moved into a classroom this year, one of the many coaches who were :(, so I'll be teaching 2nd grade. I am looking forward to working with kids again, but I was just getting the hang of coaching lol. But, they say things happen for a reason, so I am excited for a new school year.
