Virtual Instructional Coaching
At Empower, we understand how essential it is to develop relationships with teachers that result in productive working partnerships. And during these unsettling times, we know these partnerships are more important than ever! Our student-centered coaching begins by first asking the teacher what they need to be successful in helping their students learn and thrive. We then look at what the students are learning to determine how to move the teacher forward in their instructional practice.
