Coaching at a Distance: A Geographic Challenge

With only two Early Literacy Coaches covering 13 sites across a 2,000-square-mile region, COPESD struggled to provide consistent, in-person coaching. Limited time and travel made one-on-one support rare, creating a gap in timely, meaningful feedback for teachers.

Bringing Reflection and Support into the Classroom

Blumke and Peters adopted Sibme’s virtual coaching platform to deliver feedback asynchronously through video. Teachers quickly embraced the tool, using video to reflect on their teaching, identify areas for growth, and receive frequent, flexible support without leaving their classrooms.

Growth Fueled by Connection and Flexibility

• 99% of teachers took greater ownership of their professional learning.
• 88% felt more confident in their teaching.
• 85–88% improved collaboration with colleagues.

Video coaching reduced disruptions and empowered teachers to grow in a reflective, efficient way.

Sustainable Coaching That Meets Teachers Where They Are

Sibme helped COPESD overcome geographic challenges and build a sustainable coaching model. Teachers became more confident, collaborative, and engaged in their development—proving that virtual coaching can drive powerful results.
