Instructional coaching is meaningful and important work in our schools. Our goal at ICG is to provide tools and resources to help you to defend yourself against chaos and whim and to find more time to support excellent instruction every day, in every class, for every student.
Today, we’re highlighting two of the most high-impact tools ICG offers to help new and returning coaches focus and thrive right away:
The Instructional Coaching Planner and the inaugural Radical Learners course, Instructional Coaching: The First 90 Days.
We surveyed and studied several hundred coaches in our workshops and even assembled a team of instructional coaches to design, pilot, and revise the planner pages to match the needs of instructional coaches everywhere. The Instructional Coaching Planner is designed specifically for you–the instructional coach–to support your habits, growth, and development.
Our planner includes tools for productivity and time management, meaningful coaching cycles, goal-setting, and deep reflection.
Use the Instructional Coaching Planner to:
- Develop a positive daily routine and mindset.
- Capture thoughts and notes on coaching cycles.
- Reflect on your habits, productivity, and projects.
- Create goals for continued growth and progress.
- Schedule and reflect daily, monthly, and annually.
- Reference your favorite coaching questions, checklists, and tools.
