Based on reading test data, the instructional coach notices that second grade
teacher’s students are struggling with reading and making few improvements.
The instructional coach observes the lesson and notices the teacher is
incorrectly using the guided reading process. They model this process for the
teacher with a group of students, pointing out the mistakes that the teacher
needed to correct. They observe the teacher reteach using the correct
procedure and provide feedback to the teacher on student improvement.
Later on, they review new data and provide effective feedback to the teacher,
showing them the improved student outcomes. This, strengthens the coaching
relationship and builds trust between the teacher and the coach.
