There is a critical difference between knowing you need to change and having the support structure to actually build and sustain instructional muscle.

"Small district. Big impact." Whiteville City Schools (NC) built a collective coaching culture around literacy, with a shared instructional language, ~15 walkthroughs a month with fast feedback, and coach-led planning.

Teachers don't need AI to tell them what to do. They need AI to amplify their expertise.

The Learning Counsel named AI Coach for Instructional Coaches its App of the Week. The module gives coaches and mentors their own on-demand, reflective professional learning. Coaching for the coaches. https://t.co/YToy9GLFd0

The learning recession started in 2013, not 2020. About 108 districts have recovered since 2022. The DCPS lever: funding the coaching follow-up after training, not just the training itself. What it means for PD planning: https://t.co/NVD40JzVA8

A high school principal on what changed with Observation Copilot: "It's not cheating, it's working smarter." Jason Cunningham, Stockdale ISD, on getting hours back and being in classrooms more.

Who supports the coaches? EdTech Digest covered Edthena's new AI Coach for Instructional Coaches: guided reflection on 13 coaching skills, framework-agnostic, no extra cost. TIME Best Invention. #InstructionalCoaching

Districts spend $18,000/teacher/year on PD. Only 3 in 10 improve. Joyce & Showers showed in the '80s: add coaching and that jumps from 20% to 80-90%. PD isn't broken. It's incomplete. https://t.co/oWRIcfx7Jc

The best approach isn't AI or human coaching. It's both.

Human coaches bring nuanced understanding. AI Coach provides ongoing feedback between sessions. Together, they create more consistent support for teacher growth.

Professional learning is more meaningful when it starts with evidence from the classroom.

AI Coach analyzes teachers' actual classroom footage so they can reflect on their own instructional choices.

44% of teachers quit within 5 years. Mentored teachers are 2.85x more likely to stay. What makes the difference? Not more mentors. Better program design. https://t.co/ZTxXmH0pjh #TeacherRetention #K12

"It's already organizing it for me."

Assistant Principal Andrea Arispe knows the hardest part of giving feedback isn't taking notes during an observation. It's what comes after.

Principals can use Observation Copilot for free: https://t.co/Df0SEDNkmI

If you've been curious about AI tools for observations but hesitant to try, you're not alone. Teresa's colleagues felt the same way until they saw it in action.

Sharron Helmke at Learning Forward names the coaching continuum: consulting, collaborating, coaching.

The highest-leverage stance is the hardest to sustain. Consulting feels productive. Coaching builds teacher agency.

15 years at UMich and UW. Before video coaching, "many important aspects of teaching were simply not visible." That's the problem VC3 was built to solve. https://t.co/nXaXc55Rqz

CT's lowest-funded district: analysts projected 16.4% of its highest-need campus would read on grade level. Actual: ~54%.

What Meriden built: daily walkthroughs, grade-level coaches owning curriculum, one shared schedule.

The Ed Dept finalized a rule prioritizing AI-powered educator PD in federal grant applications. Effective May 13. Proposals covering AI integration for teachers and AI systems to cut admin time get more weight in grant reviews. https://t.co/O3MQrZJYdF #AIinEducation #K12

Mississippi's reading turnaround took 20 years after the science was settled. Evidence alone didn't move the needle. Literacy coaches did the boots-on-the-ground work. AI adoption in schools needs the same coaching layer. https://t.co/lYoPgpsRrk #AIinEd #InstructionalCoaching
