Teacher Coaching Speech pathologists at Waldo County General Hospital have experience and expertise working with teachers in preschool and public school settings. Our data shows changes in teacher instruction and in student performance. Therapists utilize research-based coaching techniques to develop teacher instructional skills tailored specifically to the needs of children in the classroom. Teacher coaching enables differentiated instruction to meet specific child Individual Education Plan (IEP) needs or to help support high performance Response to Intervention (RtI) classrooms required under federal law. Our coaching style develops strong partnerships with teachers. We join in classroom activities to model activities, observe teaching practices and provide authentic coaching feedback. We have presented our results at ASHA's national conference. We continue to develop innovative materials and protocols to support our students and teachers. Coming soon: Assessment of Preschool Language Literacy Skills (APLLS).
