October 6 is "Instructional Coaches Appreciation Day"

/

Friday, October 6 is designated as “National Instructional Coaches Day.” At Lake Travis ISD, we employ a total of 16 instructional coaches districtwide (7 elementary, 4 secondary, 3 Special Education, and 2 Instructional Technology). These hard-working individuals perform a number of critical functions to support teaching and learning. They not only coach teachers and provide professional development, they also write curriculum, analyze data, model lessons, review and provide instructional resources, and assist with team planning at multiple levels.

These coaches are also responsible for the planning and execution of multiple districtwide conferences. They supported us through virtual learning, and they helped our teachers design and deliver our second Summer Learning Academy for grades K-8.
