The
School
Standards Coach at Central Riverside
Elementary, has responsibilities that include staff development
on the implementation of standards based instruction.
Instruction is delivered using the 60 minute workshop model. The
teaching is broken down into three areas: mini-lesson, student
work time, and closure. During the 10-15 minute mini-lesson, the
teacher introduces the standard element (what the students are
expected to accomplish) and strategy for the students to
accomplish using charting, authentic literature, and class
discussions. The students have 35-45 minutes of independent work
time. In this session, the students apply the strategy either
independently or as a group. While the students are working, the
teacher holds student conferences, makes observations, or works
with a small group of students. Once the independent time is
completed, the students gather back together for the lesson’s
closure (5-10 minutes).
The Standards
Coach
also helps oversee the 25 book or million word campaign
where every student and employee is encouraged to read 25 books
each school year.
