How does CORE work with ECLIPSE? ECLIPSE is a New Mexico Public Education Department, Special Education funded program to support NM Indicator 17 to increase k-3 outcomes for students on IEP's. This 2020-2021 school year CORE will continue to provide in-classroom instructional coaching to walk-alongside with teachers as new learning and implementation of practices evolve.
CORE and ECLIPSE Teacher Collaboration This work can be accomplished in a number of ways, including small and large group professional development sessions, examining standards and instructional resources with teachers and teams in professional learning communities (PLCs), classroom observations and reflective conversations with descriptive feedback based on a focus determined by the teacher. CORE coaches also collaborate and co-plan lessons and interventions with teachers, model or co-teach for short periods of time. Working with administration to determine needs, combined with working alongside teachers to analyze and interpret formative and summative assessment data to improve student learning.
