“Data strengthens the rigor with which coaches and teachers work collaboratively to make changes that will impact student learning and achievement. Some of the most important kinds of data that can help coaches and teacher are these: data about student progress in learning specific knowledge and skills related to literacy standards, data about the instruction actually planned and presented by a teacher, and data about the extent to which students actually engage in a lesson’s learning activities.”

This instrument is designed to allow teachers to anonymously self-report their affective positioning towards instructional coaching. As schools look to implement instructional coaching models as part of a professional development program, professional development personnel will need to gather baseline data regarding their teacher’s level of comfort with the various elements of the instructional coaching process. This anonymous, self-reporting survey is designed to allow you to present your feelings towards instructional coaching.
The results of this survey will provide your professional development team with valuable feedback so they may clearly understand how participating staff feel about the process of instructional coaching prior to engagement.
