INSTRUCTIONAL COACH:  An individual who is a full-time professional developer, on site in schools.  ICs work with teachers to help them incorporate researched-based instructional practices.  When ICs work with students, they do so with the primary goal of demonstrating effective practices to teachers. ICs facilitate teachers' reflection about their classroom practices.  ICs focus on a broad range of instructional issues, sharing a variety of effective practices that might address classroom management, content enhancement, specific teaching practices or formative assessment.  The IC collaborates with teachers so they can choose and implement researched-based interventions to help students learn more effectively.
