As part of SDP’s early literacy initiative, 109 elementary schools received a full-time Early Literacy Specialist (ELS) coach by 2016-17. ELS coaches were responsible for promoting research-based teaching practices; supporting the implementation of best practices within the 120-minute literacy block; improving teacher content knowledge, instructional practices, classroom environments, and classroom structure; providing content-focused coaching and resources; and developing teachers’ abilities to use knowledge and data to plan for future instruction.

This brief includes responses related to caseload, confidence, and challenges from the 99 ELS coaches who responded to ORE’s ELS coach survey in January 2018.
