Maryland to hire over 50 teacher coaches to support state’s teachers
Maryland is hiring over 50 teacher coaches to support classroom instruction statewide, with a focus on literacy and mathematics. The coaches will be placed in schools based on factors such as student performance and teacher certification.
The Maryland State Department of Education is hiring 61 teacher coaches to support classroom instruction statewide. The coaches will be placed in schools by fall, with 35 school-based literacy coaches across the state. The placement will be based on factors such as third-grade student performance on English language arts and mathematics exams, as well as the percentage of conditionally licensed teachers. The initiative is part of Maryland's education reform plan, the Blueprint for Maryland's Future. The hiring is backed by $14.2 million in the state budget. Prince George's County will receive additional coaches, building on a pilot program that assigned seven literacy coaches to support teachers in 14 elementary schools.
