=Juda Panthers Peer Coaching Plan (last update 8/11/10) =

**District Administrator:** Phil Updike
**District Coaching Plan Goal:** To assist teachers in planning, implementing and assessing standards-based lessons that integrate technology by working with one collaborating teacher and reporting to a school-based team & wiki community to increase students ability to solve problems (PBL) with digital tools.

**District Coaches:** Scott Anderson (HS Math & Physics Teacher), Mary Larson (Library Media Specalist) E-mails: sa@juda.k12.wi.us larson@juda.k12.wi.us

**District Participants:** Holly Miller (1st Grade Teacher), Jessica Kernen (HS/MS Spanish Teacher)
 * NOTE: As we develop our initiative for peer coaching the collaborating teacher list will expand.

**Structure:** Our school system operates from a central teacher committee (Coordination Committee) where "action task forces" address and act upon issues or initiatives. Due to nature of our small K-12 district, where there is only one teacher per high school content area and elementary/middle school grade level, we will set up an Initial Peer Coaching Task Force whose responsibilities will be:
 * Developing a system to inform staff of opportunities
 * Set up PLC for helping one another with materials (lesson plans development, authentic assessments, higher-order thinking skills, technology integration)

**Coaching Roles and Responsibitities:** We will take stake in developing a system for Peer Coaching that is self-sustaining and ongoing through the supportive roles of cheerleader and advocate by:
 * helping teachers determine an area of the curriculum to begin to integrate technology
 * Provide examples and demonstrate lessons that integrate technology
 * Debrief with the participating teacher on what worked, what didn't and how the lesson could be modified.
 * Assist teachers in arranging classroom (for student access).

**Funding Resources:** For the 2010-2011 school year, the task force would be supported in the same fashion as other task force groups trying to utilize in-service time and perhaps Title IIA funds based upon availabiity. The Task Force will track hours to look forward for requirements beyond the 2010-2011.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">**Plan for Working with Participating Teacher:** An initial Task Force meeting will determine goals, measurements and timeliness on meeting the goals. We will meet and then complete this portion of the plan following our Task Force meeting which includes coaches and participating/collaborating teachers.
