In the 2019–2020 school year, the Watervliet City School District identified special education as an area of focus. Special education teachers had shared that general education professional development wasn’t meeting their specific needs and did not feel actionable. The district partnered with BetterLesson to develop and implement personalized professional development for all special education teachers through a full year of biweekly, one-to-one, job-embedded, virtual coaching with BetterLesson’s expert educators.
Our coaches make the difference. BetterLesson 1:1 Coaching is personalized to support the individual needs of each educator. All our coaches are master educators with expertise in adult learning who are trained and ready to help you overcome challenges, create effective systems, and apply new strategies to drive positive change in the classroom and beyond.
