Mentoring

Sometimes teachers need a little help or advice beyond what the books say.  Allow me to come and provide teachers with low stakes (Not TTESS) observational feedback.  I can help them try something new or implement a new strategy and then provide them with objective pointers and comments.  They can teach while I observe student participation and behavior.  I'll observe their practice, meet with them, and provide practical feedback.
