Instructional Coach, Literacy

Instructional Coach

Join the Westbrook School Department as an instructional coach with a specialty in literacy to primarily support our elementary schools as well as our secondary schools as needed. The instructional coach provides opportunities for teachers to develop professionally through coaching cycles, modeled lessons, demonstrations, and workshops. As instructional leaders, coaches collaborate with building leaders and other coaches to support the needs of teachers which impacts the achievement of students.

Coaches also collaborate on curriculum development, data analysis, and professional development planning. Westbrook follows a literacy framework that incorporates research-based practices that supports students in developing skills and strategies, concepts and content in the English language arts and literacy across the curriculum. Successful experience teaching reading and writing is required and an advanced degree in literacy or reading and certification as a literacy specialist (Maine 090) is highly desired.

Proudly serving one of the most diverse communities in the state in a growing suburb of Portland, Maine's largest city, the Westbrook School Department is dedicated to fostering a representative and inclusive workforce in order to grow as a culturally rich and equity-focused district. All voices are heard in our schools. Through our student-centered programs, we meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of all learners and embrace our identity as a whole child district.

Our schools serve learners in PK-high school as well as Career and Technical Education and Adult Education. We nurture a collaborative working environment and a culture of continuous growth through supportive leadership, high expectations, and opportunities for professional learning. We also offer competitive pay and generous benefits. Together we fulfill our One Promise:
The best education for all, for life.
