Instructional Coaching for Teachers

Extend and deepen professional learning

Move learning from theory to practice

Move learning from theory to practice

Build on the learning from any of our offerings by adding collaborative coaching. An experienced thought partner and practitioner will lead teachers through an inquiry-based coaching cycle to deliver a highly responsive and contextualized experience that takes the learning from theory to practice.

Coaching is for any and every educator

New beginnings

Teachers new to the classroom arrive with a unique set of challenges, questions, and ideas, but their capacity to manage the day-to-day of teaching is still in early development. A coach will guide a new teacher through an inquiry cycle to identify important goals, collect data, and intentionally work to improve classroom instruction.

Moving to mastery

For teachers who are already experienced in their craft, personalized coaching offers a direct route to mastery that is often not possible through standard professional learning. Using a goal-setting cycle of inquiry, coaches help teachers stretch their current understanding of instruction, assessment, and student engagement using data and evidence to enhance effective teaching practices.

Instructional excellence

Master teachers have the experience and knowledge required to make powerful impacts on student learning. Yet, they often feel that their own learning needs are not being met in traditional professional development. With personalized, goal-oriented coaching, master teachers are motivated to lead and learn.
