About This Workshop

A strong year of coaching starts before the first day of school. In this full-day virtual workshop, instructional coaches work through a practical Back-to-School Checklist covering the decisions to make before students arrive, from grounding their work in the Partnership Principles and Impact Cycle to building a real coaching schedule and preparing for conversations with teachers and administrators. Rather than letting the school year decide how coaching unfolds, you’ll use the checklist to plan it on purpose. You’ll leave with a personalized plan, practical tools, and clear next steps to start the year organized, focused, and ready to coach.

Key Takeaways

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to:

  • Identify and prepare the essential foundations for effective instructional coaching, including the Partnership Principles, the Impact Cycle, confidentiality, and productive coaching relationships.
  • Design practical systems and routines for the year ahead, including a coaching schedule, time-management plan, coaching documentation, administrator communication, and preparation for coaching conversations.
  • Create a personalized back-to-school action plan with concrete steps for launching coaching, connecting with teachers, and establishing the conditions for a successful year.

Coaching Teams to Make an Unmistakable Impact

In education, collective intelligence is celebrated through several approaches to collaborative learning already being implemented in schools. At ICG, we believe that to create the setting for successful team learning, leaders must consider specific factors when designing the structure for team interactions and keep an eye on those factors during the minute-by-minute actions and behaviors of the team.
