District Q‑Comp review: coaches and job‑embedded coaching show gains, administrators say
Summary
District Q‑Comp facilitators reported positive survey results for instructional coaches and staff development, citing increases in teacher perception of coaching impact. The program will continue job‑embedded professional development and PDSA portfolios next year.
Sarah Tubby, the district Q‑Comp facilitator, briefed the board on Q‑Comp program outcomes and staff feedback. She said the program continues to emphasize job‑embedded staff development, reflective peer review, and instructional coaching tied to Plan‑Do‑Study‑Act portfolios. Coaches reported higher perceived impact from training this year, and staff surveys showed gains in individual coaching impact and collaborative learning team activity.
Tubby said the district has 32 instructional coaches and four site instructional leaders returning next year; the district added transparency for Q‑Comp restricted balances in the revised budget because state statute changed carryover rules. The presentation outlined the required portfolio artifacts (research rationale, student‑work analysis, and focused observation) and described efforts to expand coaching supports for specialized staff (OT, PT, counselors, social workers, nurses, TOSAs, school psychologists and SLPs).
The board thanked the team; members asked for continued capacity building for unique roles. Administration said it will continue to track coach capacity and will report progress to the board.
