school-based instructional literacy coaches participating in the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE)

Literacy Coaching K–8 initiative. The role helps coaches translate the science of reading and structured

literacy into high-quality classroom practice, strengthens coaching quality and fidelity, and builds sustainable

school leaders while maintaining required documentation and communication and a clear focus on

implementation of a statewide initiative.
