CCSD93 Instructional Coaches Guide Innovative Teaching & Learning
|
| Many of our parents and community members may not know that every CCSD93 elementary and middle school has a full-time Instructional Coach who helps teachers learn and employ effective teaching strategies and tools. They're licensed teachers who are devoted to collaborating with and supporting the rest of the school's educators to continuously improve and provide the best teaching and learning opportunities to CCSD93 students. |
|
|
|
|
Whether advising on a short- or long-term project, providing feedback and a fresh perspective on a lesson, helping to collect and analyze student data, or offering practical advice on teaching strategies, their partnership and guidance helps our teachers feel more confident in trying new methods. The Instructional Coaches' presence has contributed greatly to creating an atmosphere in CCSD93 where innovative teaching has become the rule, rather than the exception.

The Cooperative Association for Special Education (CASE) has provided need-specific services to CCSD93's students with physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities for many years, and they were just named the #1 Workplace by the Chicago Tribune in the "Small Company" category for 2018!
We're one of seven school district that are part of the cooperative, and I'm so happy that our students are able to receive these services from such terrific educators who work for such a great organization. Learn more about CASE and their award by reading the Chicago Tribune article here!
