Similar to the National Board Certification process for teachers, ICG offers a rigorous certification process created specifically for instructional coaches. Our certification process clearly describes what excellent coaching is and provides a target for any instructional coach interested in engaging in great coaching. It also helps schools and districts better understand what effective coaching is and how to implement it.
Goals of ICG Certification include:
- Communicating the research about what works in instructional coaching
- Providing coaches with a way to demonstrate their accomplished coaching practice
- Ensuring that coaching has the best possible influence on student learning
To register, candidates must:
- be employed as a full-time instructional coach for at least two full school years before registering as a candidate,
- spend 60-70% of their work time on coaching (versus administrative tasks, testing, intervention, or other non-coaching tasks), and
- submit registration and portfolio requirements by the specified deadlines.
