Why might SDS Coaching
be beneficial to new teachers?
Teacher (Redondo Beach CA)
It stresses the individual teacher’s strengths and gives them a better sense of what they do well as a teacher and how those strengths can be used in new ways.
Having a knowledgeable support teacher to soundboard off of is absolutely beneficial to anyone. New teachers will learn so much about themselves and the students that they might not see or think of in the classroom.
I believe it would benefit new teachers by giving them clear frameworks that encompass all areas of teaching/learning. I also feel it improves both instructional practices and student achievement

How is the value of 'SDS Coaching'
less than, equal to, or greater than
the time/energy spent participating?
Teacher (Redondo Beach CA)
I think taking the time to talk about what is happening in the class helps me to refocus what I should do next. The value is definitely greater than the time/effort needed to participate.
Teacher (Torrance CA)
I think the coaching is greater and complimentary of the time needed in participation.
Teacher (Santa Ana CA)
I believe the SDS Coaching is equal to the time and energy needed to participate.
