We had a great Coaches' Academy in 2016. The following are some of the comments from attendees regarding what made it a positive experience for them:
“The discussion among colleagues from different areas in the state.” Michelle @APS
“Very interactive - enjoyed networking with colleagues. Helpful information about coaching cycle.
Resources”, Theresa
“I received valuable resources to help me become a more proficient instructional coach.”
“Variety of activities and data collection forms that I can use at my school.” , Meredith
“The activities and resources helped prepare us to provide instructional support to our teachers more effectively.”, TG
“Interaction with other professionals & learning new ways to help my teachers.”, Haley L.
The need to have effective coaches in the schools to support and guide teachers has only increased. But for the coaches to have the greatest impact on their teachers they need to have the skills to efficiently impart their knowledge to the teachers.
That is what the Instructional Coaches and Leaders Academy will do. It will give that strong teacher the skills to help their colleagues also achieve a level of excellence in the classroom. And it will help other Instructional Leaders to understand how to support effective instruction
This two day academy will address topics that include: Working with adult learners; The Coaching Cycle; Planning for Standards Based Instruction; How to give teachers useful feedback among other timely topics.
The instruction will be engaging and interactive including role-play and plan development. Online resources will be available to registered attendees.
*Registration includes a continental breakfast, buffet lunch and afternoon snacks each day.
