Coaching for Instructional Coaching

Available Now

Overview

Great instructional coaches can develop teacher practice, improve student achievement, and help enact school-wide improvements. The Instructional Coaching focus area provides instructional coaches with the skills they need to create a continuous improvement system for teachers through goal-setting, formal and informal observation, feedback, reflection, and collaborative planning.

Our 1:1 coaching methodology centers on the principles of actionable research and job-embedded best practices to provide the most personalized and differentiated approach to meet the needs of our participants. This professional learning is designed to support each participant with what they need, not a one-size-fit all approach. Our Instructional Coaching Practices coaches use the “Try, Measure, Learn” approach to create an ongoing change in practice.
