Student achievement goes up, teachers get much needed relief with the extra individual attention to students, and community members bond with their schools. Everyone wins. We need more of it.

Every year, we hear from teachers that they can offer more complex or creative writing assignments knowing that students have their coach’s support. Teachers have many demands placed on them, often teaching within the constraints of mandatory course curriculum and with testing in mind.

Coaches help students go beyond formulaic writing. “These are the most interesting batch of essays I’ve ever read,” said one teacher. “I can give out twice as many writing assignments,” said another.
