March 7 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Instructional Coaching is an important part of improving student learning by providing teachers with support, feedback, and research-based practices. What are the qualities and skills that coaches should possess? How does an instructional coach determine what a teacher needs to improve student learning? What does effective feedback look like and what type of feedback works? How do you determine which practices to share with teachers? What data should we look at and what questions should we be asking? All these questions and MORE will be answered in this training session. We will provide current coaches and future coaches with research-based strategies to help improve their practice as well as help teachers.
Target Audience: Instructional Coaches, interested future instructional coaches, and administrators.
