The Shared Leadership Initiative
Measurable Criteria
I have chosen to describe the process it takes when hiring a non-teacher leader such as a school’s
instructional coach. The objective of an instructional coach would be to learn the curriculum and guide
teachers on the curriculum to succeed in the classroom. The ideal instructional coach will analyze the
student assessment data to find gaps and possible solutions, is willing to attend professional training to
further their knowledge on the matter, will research the curriculum to find innovative ways to help
teachers implement it in the classroom and keep students engaged, and have great communication skills
when contacting curriculum trainers for clarification to ensure the information that is being shared is
current and actual. The instructional coach candidate must find other resources to support the
curriculum, match the curriculum to technology, train teachers on the curriculum and strategies
mentioned previously, build strong relationships with teachers to inspire them to do better for their
students, observe teachers teaching the curriculum in their classroom, and coach the teachers through the
coaching cycle. Building strong relationships with teachers will ensure that teachers will feel
comfortable asking questions about the curriculum, will show respect, and accept feedback.
Communicating often is key to ensure the teacher is teaching successfully.
Protocol
The instructional coach must be committed to building a positive school culture by ensuring that
the foundation of their duties with staff members is based on the school’s vision and mission. The
expectations will be shared, too. By doing so, this candidate is guaranteeing the students are the focus of
our school. Whatever benefits students must drive all decisions. The instructional coach will follow the
professional development program established in the school for teachers. This will ensure teachers learn,
collaborate, try, assess, reflect, and be guided. The instructional coach will emphasize the importance of
collaborating to establish trust between all teachers and administration. As the administration, we will
ensure the instructional coach is up to date on student assessment data results to continue the research
and the guidance. This and other decisions made will guarantee that the preparation will be focused on
helping students succeed such as reviewing the end of the year student assessment data after the new
strategies have been implemented for a while. The coach must compare both assessments, find out how
the new curriculum knowledge is helping, and continue to encourage teachers to teach the curriculum
faithfully in their classrooms. Students must be challenged and provided with new opportunities of
learning to succeed.
Strategies
To promote effective team dynamics, meetings will often be scheduled in groups depending on
the department or area of concern. Meetings would also be scheduled one-on-one when providing
opportunities of reflection and feedback. The principal must attend some meetings to ensure protocols
are being followed and all stakeholders involved are committed. Others will be in teams such as in a
PLC where teachers can learn together, share, ask, and provide answers to each other. PLCs will be
executed to share ideas and help one another during unit planning using the curriculum. Professional
training will be scheduled throughout the school year to ensure teachers are up to date on concepts and
strategies. The instructional coach will find strategies to encourage staff members to participate. This
coach will lead by example and acknowledge staff members on their preparation skills, participation,
collaboration with other staff members, and implementation successes. Those successes must be
celebrated by encouraging successful staff members to become leaders themselves by sharing their
knowledge with others.
