✨ Spotlight on...
Kelly Campbell
K-5 Instructional Coach, Dickson County

As a first year instructional coach, Kelly Campbell has found CER's Instructional Coach Collaborative especially helpful. Kelly's favorite part about being an instructional coach is "being able to help teachers teach more effectively. " She elaborated, "Many times it is small shifts that we have seen such high student impacts, and I love it when teachers feel more confident."

Kelly would like other instructional coaches in CER districts to "find the time to dig into the lessons! They are SO worth it, especially for newer teachers! Great resources, great questions!"

Before transitioning into an instructional coach position, Kelly taught 4th Grade Math and Science. She commented on CER's science materials, saying, "I really like how the CER science lessons and questions are set up. I wish I had those when I was a teacher." Outside of the classroom, Kelly loves to spend time with her family and travel the world.
