Early Childhood Coaching

Our experienced coaches understand first-hand the demands early childhood educators face. They work with teachers and teaching assistants in real-time to identify their goals, design action steps, and apply best practices to differentiate instruction.

We work together to adapt the environment to meet the cognitive, social-emotional, and behavioral needs of young children.  Our coaches can support teachers to leverage early childhood frameworks, assessments, curricula, and resources in order to facilitate student learning in developmentally-appropriate ways within inclusive classrooms.

Special Education & Inclusive Coaching

Cooke’s experienced special education coaches work with general and special education teachers to elevate a classroom’s culture of inclusion that meets students’ unique learning, behavior and social-emotional needs.

We focus on strategies for co-planning, co-teaching, and differentiating developmentally-appropriate instruction. Our expert coaching is a collaboration with teachers to ensure all students have appropriate and equitable access to the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards-aligned general education curriculum.

Leadership Coaching

Our leadership coaches lead schools and programs with distinction, in ways that support school leaders (e.g, principals, assistant principals, educational directors) to increase their effectiveness.

This work impacts instruction, builds school-wide capacity and advances a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion. Through CI coaching, school leadership are better equipped to lead faculty to implement school-wide initiatives in a well-planned, collaborative and cohesive manner that results in continuous school improvement and positive student achievement.

Literacy Coaching

 Our highly-trained literacy coaches help teachers build capacity to implement evidence-based practices to deliver reading and writing instruction in explicit, systematic, and developmentally-appropriate ways aligned to the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards. CI literacy coaches are equipped with the expertise to help teachers:

• plan, implement and adapt a school’s reading curriculum, 
• address gaps in literacy skills based on data, and
• provide differentiated instruction, interventions, and strategies to maximize progress in reading and writing for  students with diverse abilities.
