ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT AT A TIME

How to execute a great coaching model?

School districts should already have a solid coaching model in place. However, due to funding issues, some districts have not been able to dedicate a cadre of teachers to the task. We specialize in helpng smaller districts get their initial coaching setup. After careful evaluation of the limitations and concerns, a plan that is commensurate to the available possibilities is put into place. We always want the instructional coaching plan to be self-supportive and sustainable.

The key to a successful coaching program is a trusting relationship between teachers and coaches, but training and support from administrators are vital as well. Coaching is confidential, non-evaluative, and supportive. Coaches work one-on-one and in small groups with teachers on specific teaching strategies or problems, focusing on practical changes they can make in their classrooms. This ongoing one-on-one work is supplemented by other professional development activities, and skillful mentors often help support and extend the work of coaches.
