In my district in CA, these literacy coaches are fellow teachers OUT of the classroom and they do not have the authority to tell a teacher what to do!!!!to do so would be a violation of the contract. It is my understanding that they are there to SUPPORT classroom teachers!!!
My experience with them has been that they usually are not READERS!!! not CURIOUS!!!not THINKERS!!!!all the very strategies that we are trying to teach our students!!! But fortunately they have been supportive by helping with required assessments, manning centers and providing materials. Additionally they have tried to spread the good ideas!!!! I am not being critical of my colleagues just stating that they are that my colleagues not my bosses!!! olga > OK. This is just downright rude, wrong, and a breach > of academic > freedom.
