Coaching for Accelerating Growth

Available Now

Overview

BetterLesson instructional coaching is tailored to meet the professional learning needs of schools and districts, with a focus on promoting effective teaching practices and enhancing leadership capabilities. Grounded in the principles of action research and job-embedded best practices, our coaching methodology provides a highly personalized and differentiated approach for each participant. 

Using the “Try, Measure, Learn” approach, BetterLesson coaches guide educators through narrow, actionable shifts to establish goals, implement strategies, and evaluate outcomes in a continuous feedback loop.

Teacher Coaching: Educators collaborate with experienced instructional coaches in a safe environment. These sessions are dedicated to refining student-centered instructional practices, learning and assessing the effectiveness of new strategies, and developing plans for ongoing improvement to achieve targeted outcomes.

Leader Coaching: School and district leaders partner with experienced leader coaches to brainstorm ideas and learn new strategies for immediate implementation. Our coaches assist leaders in planning for implementation and monitoring progress towards predefined outcomes, ensuring that coaching efforts are aligned with the overall goals of the district’s professional learning initiatives.
