Brewster High School, in Putnam County, received direct support from Bridges instructional coaches through individualized visits throughout the 2017-18 school year. The goal of this effort was to implement Bridges’ Stand Alone and Integrated ENL/ELA curricula. The Bridges coaches modeled different instructional methods and strategies and support the Brewster ENL teacher in lesson planning; helping her to implement the Bridges curriculum. In addition, Bridges coaches helped teachers design learning centers in their classrooms to provide direct instruction and promote independence among students.
