Join us for a focused conversation about the craft of coaching as we consider the ideas and approaches featured in the guide Student-Focused Coaching: The Instructional Coach's Guide to Supporting Student Success Through Teacher Collaboration. The authors describe student-focused coaching as “a cooperative, ideally collaborative, professional relationship with colleagues mutually engaged in efforts that help maximize every teacher’s knowledge and skill to enhance student learning."
During this webinar, you will hear how to leverage this cooperative and collaborative professional relationship to support educators in enhancing student learning, maximizing teacher knowledge and skills, learning from each other, and preventing future problems. We’ll explore the collaborative problem-solver role for student-focused coaching and how technical coaching can assist educators in high-quality implementation of their curriculum.
