    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone can direct me to great curriculums in all areas to use with 4-8 year olds? (ELA, bilingual, math, social skills, etc)

    Also does anyone know of any good teaching/coaching models to use?

    Hi there,
    I am in the Bay Area in California, and we use PreK GLAD for our preschools and there is also GLAD for elementary age.  Go to Orange County Dept. of Education website to learn more about GLAD. With the GLAD instructional model and strategies, you can integrate ELA, math, social skills, science etc. It is also thematic and most units of studies are either social studies themes or science themes.   I have bilingual preschool classrooms that use GLAD in Spanish.   GLAD comes with coaching if you choose that option.

    Excellent article on 3 instructional coaching models: https://www.instructionalcoaches.com/3-models-of-instructional-coaching/
    I was originally trained in cognitive coaching as well as Jim Knight's Instructional Coaching out of Kansas.
    Hope this helps.
