Meet Coach Amanda Brueggeman

I am so eager to discover new ideas to empower our students to take learning risks. My main purpose as a literacy coach is to support and assist staff members to reach their goals for student learning. At any time, let me know if you need something!

Amy B.

"The students were able to learn more because we were building off of each other during co-teaching of lessons, small groups, and one-on-one conferring."

"Our collaboration helped students have a purpose, know their needs/strengths, and grow more than we expected in their reading levels."

How do Student-Centered Coaching Cycles work?

How a cycle looks depends on your students! What do your students need? Where do your students need to be? How can WE get them there? I look forward to co-teaching with you to reach your goals for students. Check out the video for more information!

Student-Centered Coaching is...

  • an opportunity for us to co-teach and learn in a partnership.
  • guided by learning goals based on the standards and our WSD curriculum.
  • analyzing student evidence to guide our instruction.

Student-Centered Coaching is not...

  • evaluation.
  • me telling someone what to do.
  • a "fix the teacher" mentality.
