Background of the Study This report is a response to a Cambridge Public Schools (CPS) request for proposals issued in January 2014. Upon completion of the competitive bid process, Consensus Now! was selected to conduct the program review. We are an independent LLC focused on delivering external reviews, practice recommendations and training focused on instructional coaching and other levers for raising student achievement. Purposes of the Study The district is seeking a review in order to determine whether the coaching model, as designed and implemented is leading to desired improvements in teaching and learning. Therefore, the purpose of the Instructional Coaching Review is to collect baseline data in order to provide: †¢ Exhibited strengths of the school coaching program over the past ten years †¢ Findings and recommendations for strengthening future instructional coach delivery through examination of school levers: structures, practices, consistency, and/or use of time †¢ Findings and recommendations for growing the level of coach capacity and level of agency to more effectively execute coach roles and facilitate PLC’s at the school level. †¢ Findings and recommendations for improving instructional impact of coaching models at the school level, particularly for those in need of intervention. †¢ Parallel recommendations for effective district level support of coaching through staffing, reporting, job descriptions, staff development and benchmarks.
