Over the last 20 years, New Teacher Center (NTC) has worked with teachers, teacher leaders, schools and school districts, researchers, state agencies, policy-making organizations, and a range of educational institutions to define the characteristics and fundamental elements of high-quality mentoring. Effective, standards-aligned teaching and learning are only possible when an optimal learning environment is in place. In Optimal learning Environments, instruction addresses the needs of every learner with ever present attention to equity and continuous academic, social, and emotional growth. Educators prioritize knowing their students, have deep understanding of the content they teach, and collaborate with each other regularly to maximize student success.

Impact Coaching Idea:
An instructional coach must be an expert in building relationships, even with those teachers who resist change. Providing continuous assistance until the skill has been learned, practiced, and sustained is essential. A coach’s interaction with a teacher occurs for short period of time. Such interaction provides help and assistance based on information gleaned through assessment and observation where teacher behavior is changed
-Jim Knight

Focus: Classroom Management

Like so much of classroom management, the key to managing voice levels is to define for your students what you expect of them – and then hold them to it.
