Starting Point for Literacy Coaches
I created the Literacy Coach Checklist 5 years ago to help develop my "coaching eye." Since then, it has been used as a tool to foster the coach/teacher relationship and to provide direct feedback to teachers during the debriefing process. This process helps teachers become more reflective and because of this has impacted student learning. Since then, I have trained numerous new and experienced coaches using it.

Primary GATE -- AIR! Active, Creative, Academic, and Hands-on!
I am always trying to figure out what to do with my little primary groups, and this unit was a definite hit with my kindergartners. It would work well with 1st grade too or the regular 2nd grade classroom. The full unit contains more than 2 hours of contact time.
It’s active, fun, and challenging for these little ones and seemed to have the right combination of “get up and move,” imagination, creativity, and “making” along with academic tasks.
