Literacy coaching is hard.
You’re expected to:
Be the expert in reading and writing

Lead meetings, analyze data, and build relationships
…all while figuring it out as you go

Testimonial
"Thank you for taking the time to create a resource for coaches. I have spent every evening for the past few weeks with you, and now I'm ready to implement your strategies. I just recently met with my new administrator and discussed our campus' high impact strategies which you helped me realize our campus has - I just didn't know what to call them. She was very impressed! I definitely feel more confident in my new role and ability as a coach. Thank you again. You are a blessing!"

About the creator
Hi, I’m Chrissy 
I’ve been where you are.
I stepped into literacy coaching feeling the pressure to be the expert—without the support or systems I needed.
So I created the tools, processes, and strategies I wish I had from the start.
Now, I help literacy coaches:
- feel confident in their role
- support teachers effectively
- and actually enjoy the work they’re doing

You can take this course at your own pace! Everything is available from the moment you're registered. A recommended timeline has been included for people who start the course in the break before the school year begins, but you are able to take as long as you need...or you can finish it all in one week!

How long does it take to complete each lesson?
The length of each lesson varies. Each lesson includes an instructional video and a reference to the pages in the Guidebook that will help you record and apply the learning. Many lessons also include bonus materials. The videos are between 10 - 35 minutes in length.
Is this course aligned with SOR?
Short answer? Yes!
Long answer: I have updated modules three (reading) and four (writing) to reflect the components that research shows make up skilled reading and writing. SOR is a body of research, not a program, so I have included the foundational knowledge you'll need to support teachers in embracing SOR as well as provided the coaching tools and process you can use to help them grow!
Who is this course for?
This course is created for instructional coaches who coach K-5 teachers in reading and/or writing. School leaders can also benefit from this course.
Is this course relevant to middle school coaches?
When I created this course, I had my work with K-5 teachers in mind. However, I have also worked with middle school teachers and applied these practices. The modules will still be relevant to middle school coaches who coach reading and writing.
Will I receive a certificate when I complete this course?
Yes! You will be able to download and print a certificate or 15 hours of professional development.
What if I can't pay for the course?
I do accept Purchase Orders. Please contact your school or district to see if they will cover the cost of the course! They can email me directly at chrissy@buzzingwithmsb.com with a PO or a PO number.
