Overview
NOTE : Internal HCS employees without previous coaching experience must apply for and be accepted into the Aspiring Instructional Coach LEAD program to be eligible for school-based instructional coach roles. The 2025-2026 application for the Aspiring Instructional Coach LEAD program is available on the internal iCims portal from February 3-16, 2025. Please visit the page for more information about the program.
The purpose of this job is to lead district efforts to increase achievement for all students and the implementation of Hamilton County frameworks by mentoring, coaching, and assisting teachers with planning, classroom strategies, and best practices.
The role of the HCS Instructional Coach is designed to provide support for teachers in the classroom, as well as to encourage professional leadership roles for teachers in our district. Coaches work side-by-side with teachers to improve student learning outcomes. Coaches spend at least 80% of their time directly supporting teacher development and student learning. Coaches do not merely tell others or demonstrate “how to do it,” they actually “do it” themselves as they provide on-going, job-embedded professional learning and support.
Coaches are teacher leaders who assume support roles that include, but are not limited to :
- Peer coaching
- Side-by-side coaching cycles (Planning, Enacting a Lesson / Part of a Lesson, Debriefing)
- Team / collaborative planning
- Co-Teaching and Demonstration Lessons
- Analyzing student data to inform instruction through collaborative team structures (PLCs)
- Assessment
- Action research projects
- Facilitating / participating in professional learning and coaches meetings
Effective professional learning is job-embedded within a safe, positive environment and built through trusting relationships. An effective coach works collaboratively with teachers, principals, and directors to support the school and its educational objectives. An effective coach serves as a positive role model and “thought partner” in a non-evaluative, non-supervisory role to better support teachers to meet the needs of their students in challenging and supportive classroom environments.
