A little about me I am Barbara Montcalm, the Instructional Reading Coach for Culver. I have been employed at Culver School for the past 18 years. Prior to that, I taught 2nd grade for 6 years when I developed a passion for supporting children in developing their reading skills. I completed my Masters of Reading at Northeastern Illinois just 2 years after my employment at Culver.
Being a Reading Coach My coaching role at Culver has evolved & changed over the years to meet the many needs of our school district. This year, I will be supporting the intervention teachers, to help ensure the fidelity of the intervention programs they are teaching. I will be supporting new teachers, by going into their classrooms to model classroom literacy routines. I will also review student data and collaborate with teachers to help guide instructional strategies that are used in their classrooms. I am currently serving on both the MTSS & School Leadership teams that are responsible for making many decisions that support the teachers and the students. Throughout the year, I will also provided professional development for teachers based on their needs.
