Instructional Coaching at Upper

The Upper School faculty is displaying its commitment to pedagogical development with the help of Instructional Coach Laura Dombek-Crain.

On English teacher Mark Beyreis’ invitation, Dombek-Crain sat in on his British and postcolonial literature honors class as they talked about analyzing “Mrs. Dalloway” by Virginia Woolf using different theories.

“This is in support of our commitment to developing pedagogy as well as strengthening instructional practices, student outcomes, and student experiences,” said Dombek-Crain, who is new to Seven Hills this year.

Dombek-Crain conducted a general observation in Beyreis’ class and then debriefed with him about what went well and made suggestions for adjustments to enhance his lesson.
