Implementing Teacher Coaching to Improve Classroom Practice and Student Learning (Pilot)
This sustained professional development course is designed to support administrators and teacher leaders who aim to provide instructional coaching to other teachers. Through an introductory four-day, in-person workshop and ongoing coaching, this course will help school leaders provide coaching experiences to support teachers in setting goals, innovating, and improving their practice. Participants will become more closely acquainted with three coaching stances: Cognitive, Collaborative, and Consulting. Using these stances as a framework, participants will be able to develop specific coaching plans for a wide variety of teachers, from novice to veteran and from struggling to successful.
