Showing BCSD's instructional coaches some love this week! Instructional coaches meet up every month to discuss and learn new ways to better support teachers and students at school. When they met up on Monday, instructional coaches participated in a belated Valentine's Day-themed activity where they wrote words of encouragement and gratitude to one another on post-its and stuck them to personalized posters hanging up around the room. Coaches also enjoyed lunch provided by Stratford High's culinary arts students.
Thanks you, instructional coaches, for all that you do!
