ALSO: “Learning Walks” will be held at four Orleans Parish schools on both 
mornings, 9:00AM-Noon. Media will be allowed to film educators entering the 
school, but the walks are professional development exercises. A principal 
designated by the “coaches” will be made available for interview at the 
school site following each walk. Contact Janice Bernard (504) 267-7239. The 
schools are:

Carver High School
3059 Higgins Blvd.

Henderson Elementary School

Habans Elementary School
3819 Herschel Street

Banneker Elementary School

Why:   SLC, now in its 11th year, offers the Coaching Program to veteran 
and second year principals as a long-term mentoring program. Each is assigned 
a professional guide, as well as retired principals and school supervisors, 
forming a coaching team. After the initial training, this team provides 
monthly one-on-one sessions with the principal to develop their instructional 
and leadership capacity at their school site, with measured success in 
improved academic achievement scores by students. 

SLC-GNO is a partner with the Louisiana State Department of Education. The 
Coaches training is federally funded research made possible by a grant from 
the U.S. Department of Education. For more information, contact Cheron
