Building Systematic Support


Classroom Coaching

We can coach your teachers to deliver great Gizmos lessons

  • Building Systematic Support
  • Onsite

Classroom coaching embeds professional development into your regular classroom hours. Coaching with an ExploreLearning instructor can take the form of classroom modeling, co-delivery of a Gizmo lesson, or observation of a Gizmo lesson with feedback. These coaching activities, when experienced in sequence, take the form of a gradual release model: The teacher first observes a live Gizmos lesson delivered by the instructor in the teacher's own classroom. Next, the teacher and instructor work on co-delivery of a lesson from start to finish. Finally, the teacher delivers a Gizmos lesson while the instructor observes and assesses.
