With a focus on implementing best practices for coaching educators, this workshop is designed to assist instructional coaches, members of an instructional resource team, or educational leaders in developing their understanding of instructional coaching. The goal of this working session is to 1) define the role of the instructional coach, 2) develop goals and key performance indicators, 3) develop a coaching schedule, and 4) create a systematic and tiered approach for supporting teachers across grade levels. Additionally, Dr. Taylor will introduce the 5 Pillars of Instructional Coaching and work with participants to develop a more efficient and systematic approach to supporting teachers across grade levels. Participants will leave this workshop with practical strategies and concrete takeaways that can be immediately put into practice.
