We love ours!
By BirdSong

Clip to ScrapBook   
Our Literacy Coach is a Godsend. I absolutely love her. I think what makes her so accepted in our school is that she is very willing to help us in any way she can. She really goes beyond her job duties to help the teachers.
If we help her out in any way, it is not uncommon to find a Starbucks coffee or some treat sitting outside our classroom door the next morning when we arrive.

She works as a liason between us and our principal also. That's helpful when you do not have a very good leader that is easy to approach.

She came in my second year at that school to watch my writing lessons. It
was my third year as a teacher and I felt thrilled that someone considered me an 'expert' in something. An ego boost to the teachers goes a long way.

I really think it is all in how you approach the staff and what you are willing to do for them to make their jobs easier. There will be times when you have to ask them to take on another paperwork task, but it makes it easier to say yes when you are willing to do something for them in return.

Good luck!
