CARE Coaching: Advancing Equitable Educational Opportunities
Welcome!
Welcome!
Creating a culture of CARE
CARE Coaching, offered through the Wisconsin Center for Education Products and Services (WCEPS), is designed to ensure that district and school-based educators are empowered to provide equitable educational opportunities for multilingual learners.
CARE Coaches foster collaborative relationships and develop partnerships that elicit the strengths and knowledge of all who participate, providing growth opportunities for school leaders, classroom teachers, and students. They use the C.A.R.E. model to cultivate engagement that is: Collaborative, Actionable, Responsive, and Empowering.
*CARE Coaching is a program designed and implemented by WCEPS.
