Over the last few years, I have listened very closely to my fellow English Language Arts teachers, and it seems like many of their stories are the same. They started their careers with big dreams and big ideas. They were ambitious, driven, felt supported, and loved, and they could not wait to return for the next work week.
CAN YOU RELATE?
Recently, I have heard more and more educators sadly say, “I don’t want to do this anymore.” But why? No one ever goes into a profession thinking one day they would want to quit.
Whether you are a veteran ELA teacher or brand new, you know or have heard things have changed drastically in the classroom…
*ELA teachers are expected to have their students reading and writing proficiently and/or above grade level by the end of the year, while students do not enjoy reading or writing, and do not read independently at school or at home.
*Teachers are dealing with overcrowded classrooms, but are expected to differentiate their curriculum, meet the needs of their special education students, understand their IEPs, support the emotionally sensitive, and mold the behavioral students all while creating a safe, learning environment.
*ELA teachers are dealing with a never-ending, daunting pile of papers to grade, with no time to grade them because of parent phone calls and meetings, RIT meetings, planning, researching, and creating lessons that take up the little time they have.
*Teachers are not provided adequate or engaging professional development to help them grow as a teacher and feel supported in their classroom.
*While teaching, teachers are expected to be ring masters, entertainers, referees, therapists, and parental figures, while feeling like their lifeline for support is becoming shorter and shorter.
*And then…there was the pandemic that derailed the train that was barely hanging onto the tracks.
Long story short…ELA teachers, and teachers alike, are EXHAUSTED and LOST. They just need support.
Yet…they still strive to provide the best education and give their students the best opportunities, despite feeling like they are running on empty. They continue to search for ways to make engaging lessons, yet have no motivation or confidence in their own ability as a teacher.
BUT GUESS WHAT? You have a lifeline…

Obviously, there are emergencies and extenuating circumstances. However, being a coaching student in a coaching program is a commitment.
With any of the coaching sessions, we will plan out a calendar and dates that is conducive for all.
For the 1:1 coaching sessions, we can absolutely reschedule a session, as long as I am notified at least 24 hours before the session.
For group coaching, I cannot reschedule the session due to the other participants. However, a replay of all sessions will be available for you to watch.
Commitment is a critical factor in the success of an instructional coaching program. Instructional coaching is a process that involves building a collaborative relationship between the coach and the teacher/client with the aim of enhancing the teacher’s teaching skills, improving student learning outcomes, and fostering overall professional development.
The client, on the other hand, must be committed to the coaching process and actively engage in the coaching activities.
Commitment requires an investment of time and effort. The teacher must be willing to set aside time to work with the coach and to reflect on their teaching practices. They must be open to feedback and willing to make changes to their teaching approach.
Furthermore, commitment involves a willingness to persevere through challenges and setbacks. Improvement in teaching practices and student learning outcomes does not happen overnight. It requires consistent effort and a willingness to learn from mistakes and adjust the course as needed.
Clients are expected to show up on time for coaching sessions, do preparation work such as readings or “homework” assignments, and communicate regularly. Tasks will be outlined ahead of our sessions to help deepen your coaching experience, manage expectations, and help track your progress.
In order for our plans to work and progress to be made, you have to commit to the program.
Professional Development sessions: There are no refunds for professional development sessions. Because the professional development sessions are recorded, you can watch the replay at any time, multiple times.
Coaching Sessions:
1:1 Coaching Sessions – Cancellations of a session must be communicated 24 hours or more before the session. If no communication is made 24 hours before a session, this session WILL NOT be refunded or issued. Obviously, there are extenuating circumstances and emergencies. These circumstances will be reviewed to determine if a refund will be issued.
Group Coaching Sessions- Due to the nature of the small group sessions, sessions will always be held if at least 2 of the participants are present for the session. All group sessions are recorded, and if you miss a session, you will be able to go back and watch the replay.
