The 2018-2019 Tuscola ISD Coaching Collaborative Workshops will be a series of eight half-day workshops facilitated by the Tuscola ISD Literacy Coach to develop the capacity of literacy leaders and building-level coaches across the county around the K-3 Literacy Essentials, the Essential Coaching Practices, and research-based coaching models. Through these collaborative workshops, coaches will be trained on the responsibilities and expectations of a building-level coach while having the opportunity to build and develop their skills as an instructional coach. Each general topic outlined below will involve developing a common understanding and language around each Essential while workshopping ways to coach this Essential Practice and to incorporate into schoolwide expectations. Each Coaching Collaborative will be at the Tuscola Tech Center from 8:00a-12:00p. Agendas will be provided via email AND via Google Classroom prior to the start of the 2018-2019 school year. We will utilize Google Classroom to house all pertinent information and resources for easy access as well as to have a virtual forum to communicate with your peers and colleagues.

KINDERGARTEN & 1st Grade Literacy Network WORKSHOpS: Small Group Instruction & Vocabulary Instruction
Tuscola ISD invites you to join or continue participating in the 2018-2019 Tuscola ISD Literacy Networks. These Networks will host four half day workshops devoted to continuing to build your capacity to be reading and writing teachers with a focus on the Essential Literacy Practices and strategic collaboration within your grade level teams. These workshops will be facilitated by the Tuscola ISD Literacy Coach, Emily Caylor.
Each workshop will operate as a ‘flipped’ classroom where the participants will complete a professional learning module or watch a video prior to meeting with a focus on collaborating and working toward strategic goals with our time together. Please connect with your administrative team as some schools have included the modules in staff professional learning plans. Otherwise, visit https://plp.mivu.org/?c=16 for the Essential Modules registration. We will utilize Google Classroom to house all pertinent information and resources for easy access as well as to have a virtual forum to communicate with your peers and colleagues. The 1LN will also include targeted coaching work with a building-level coach outside of the workshops.
The location for each workshop is in red with additional attending schools to follow. AM sessions will be held from 8-11a and PM sessions from 12:30-3:30p. Light refreshments will be provided. More specific agendas and resources needed will be sent to participants prior to each workshop. Here are the dates for upcoming workshops. Here are the links for Kindergarten and 1st Grade registration.
