78% OF COACHING FOCUSED ON RESEARCH-ALIGNED LITERACY IN MICHIGAN Michigan’s early literacy coaching is yielding measurable improvements in classroom instruction among participating teachers. The state expanded its funding to $42 million in 2023-24, supporting 362 coaching positions statewide. According to a randomized study, K-3 teachers receiving literacy coaching demonstrated greater instructional growth than those in the comparison group, and made greater instructional gains when coaching was focused on research-aligned literacy practices. High-intensity coaching processes such as modeling, co-teaching, observation and one-on-one conferencing provided additional benefits. Nearly three-quarters of all reported coaching time involved direct work with teachers, as opposed to administrative or indirect tasks, and nearly 78% of coaching content focused on research-aligned literacy practices. learnfwd.org/c60b0b 2X MORE TEACHER TURNOVER WHEN LEADERSHIP SUPPORT IS LOW
