Coaches do their best work when the leaders around them understand what coaching is, know how to evaluate it, and can support it through hard conversations. Too often, coaches are left to figure that out on their own.
The Coaching Champion Institute brings three of our most requested leader workshops together: Evaluating Instructional Coaching; System Support: What Administrators Need to Know About Coaching; and Managing Challenging Conversations. Over three half-days, you’ll build a clear picture of what your coaches need from you and leave with a plan to give it to them. Walk into next school year with your coaching program figured out.
What would change for your coaches if every leader in your system knew how to champion them?
Learn what coaches should and shouldn’t be asked to do, the success factors that make coaching work, and how the Partnership Principles and the Impact Cycle shape a coach’s day. Set up the structures coaches count on: protected time, a clear confidentiality policy, regular meetings, an instructional playbook, and video.
Assess individual coaches and your coaching program as a whole using standards written for coaching. Gather meaningful data from teachers, coaches, and administrators, and put it to use.
Understand what makes a conversation challenging, recognize the triggers that shape how people give and receive feedback, and hold high expectations while protecting the relationship.

$995 per person, or $895 when you register by [early-bird deadline].
Bringing your team? Register 3 or more leaders from one district for $795 each. That’s up to 33% less than taking all three workshops separately ($1,185).
Helping leaders build, evaluate, and sustain coaching that improves teaching and learning
Coaches deserve to be evaluated on the work they actually do. Learn standards built for coaching and how to use them with individual coaches and with your program as a whole.
Discover what coaches need from leaders to thrive, from protected time and clear confidentiality to an instructional playbook everyone understands.
Build the skills to navigate high-stakes conversations with coaches and staff, keeping expectations high and relationships strong.

Instructional coaching works best when leaders understand it, protect it, and stand behind it. That’s the heart of Success Factor #7, system support, and it’s the heart of this institute too.
