School Coaching for Transformational Change

Target Audience: Pre-K-12 Instructional Coaches, TOSAs, Administrators, Principals

Coaching is fast becoming a viable model for change and growth with the capacity to enhance continuous leadership development, the quality of teaching, and student learning. Coaching is an interaction style that requires an additional skillset that takes specific training and time to develop. Learning how to support teachers/educators requires the coach to have high levels of emotional and social intelligence, the ability to customize on the spot, and the ever-increasing aptitude for patience and flexibility.

The purpose of our training is to prepare participants to coach within a customized framework that meets district and school site needs. As a result of this workshop, participants will:

• Develop coaching competencies and effective coaching behaviors that build on strengths, motivate learning, and set high expectations
• Gain a greater awareness of current coaching theories, trends, and research
• Explore the core competencies the International Coach Federation has determined essential for effective coaching
• Clarify the roles of consultant, mentor, and coach
• Learn the 3 keys to establishing an effective coaching relationship with educators
• Discuss essential elements in building a working relationship with the principal to build a coaching culture in schools (roles, responsibilities, boundaries, confidentiality and other)
• Observe modeled coaching and practice coaching with peers
• Explore the professional coaching standards, guidelines, and ethics (International Coach Federation or ICF)
• Create an initial coaching action plan for working with K-12 educators
• Foster and maintain an on-going practice for cultivating self-awareness, mindfulness, and self-reflective practices
• Establish an ongoing partnership with a coaching peer to practice and receive coaching
