In this episode, we sit down with Kate Cortez, Instructional Coach at Edison Elementary, to explore how instructional coaches support teachers, elevate classroom practice, and strengthen student learning. Kate shares how she guided her school through the adoption of Wit & Wisdom and Fundations curriculum, the impact of professional learning, and the importance of family engagement. From classroom coaching and PLCs to parent nights that demystify reading strategies, this conversation offers powerful insight into how schools are building stronger connections between teachers, students, and families to drive achievement.
