About next year's coaching component: you should know that the curriculum coordinators/directors of PREP were especially eager that the cohort offer means for "spreading the word" about literacy. "Coaching" may be too formal a word for what we have in mind...perhaps "buddy system" or "thinking partner" would be better?
The cohort will be helping you (in the Fall) to think about this: selection criteria for your mentee/buddy/thinking partner; pointers on working with a colleague in an expert and novice situation; and a series of activities to inspire (ok, force) you to engage in dialogue and support with a colleague.
This will NEVER be evaluative. It WILL prompt you to move a little out of your comfort zone and to have those professional conversations and classroom visits we all know we should but never make the time to do/have. Really, don't worry about this! Enjoy the summer and I'll see you back here in the fall!
