We don’t have to look far outside of education to see how coaching has led professionals to greatness in industries like music, sports, etc. The same kind of continuous professional development is attainable in education through job-embedded, personalized coaching that will elevate teacher success. A long-term coaching plan is a continuous investment into the overall health of your educational team and your teachers’ individual growth. With the support of a dedicated coach, teachers can create lasting effects on student outcomes and exceed their professional goals.
Join us for a discussion around how to shift our paradigms, invest in our educators, and create a coaching practice that informs how we all can drive teacher engagement, retention, and schoolwide outcomes. In this edWebinar, you:
- Learn tools to evaluate your current resources and develop your own coaching practice
- Leave with a template to create a multi-year coaching plan with resources for your teachers
- Explore how coaching can build capacity when funding is a challenge
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 school and district leaders as well as teachers.
