Cecilia Bados
Instructional Reading Coach
Jack Lowe Elementary
Honduras
How did we do this:
◦Ask my administrators and my librarian for their support.
◦I had to find out what teachers knew about the program.
◦I called Earning by Learning for their support
◦1 on 1”honest-Talks” with each of my teachers.
Responses
◦“I don’t have time.”
◦“I don’t know how to”
Building a relationship of trust is the KEY
element for instructional coaches.
Come up with a plan
◦We created student’s AR folders.
◦We created AR walls to motivate students.
Take the teachers by the hand and do it together with them.
This School Year
◦We are rolling the program school wide.
◦ Monthly competition per grade level.
◦The winners will get a trophy and we will hang a flag outside their doors.
