Professional development for instructional coaches is essential to the long-term success of your school or district. Coaches build capacity from within, helping schools get the most from their teaching staff.

To be successful, coaches must develop strong relationships, and help teachers connect educational theory to classroom practice. They need both pedagogical expertise and deep content knowledge, often across multiple grade levels or subject areas.

And all while overcoming resistance and working within teachers’ already-packed schedules.

But when coaches are successful, students thrive. Effective instructional coaching is proven to be the most effective form of professional development for educators.

In this online professional development workshop for instructional coaches, you’ll collaborate with other coaches as you plan coaching cycles tailored to the needs of your teachers and your school.

You’ll learn how the best coaches challenge and support educators to bring out their best. And you’ll leave with resources and practical strategies that will help you to see results right away.

Professional Development for Instructional Coaches

Effective coaching starts with relationships, but it ends with outcomes.

Some coaches develop strong relationships with teachers, but have a hard time pushing them to develop their teaching practice.

Others expect teachers to change overnight, without establishing the trust needed to help teachers to embrace change.

Our professional development for instructional coaches will help you both challenge and support your teacher-learners.

With intentional planning, your coaching cycles will help teachers take ownership of their professional growth. You become a support, as they work toward their own goals.

  • Reflection: Guide teachers through taking an honest look at their strengths and areas for growth
  • Goal-Setting: Turn reflection into specific, measurable outcomes
  • Planning: Develop unit plans and lesson plans to support intended outcomes
  • Embedded Support: Demo lessons and practice observations make professional growth goals a reality.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to make the most of all four coaching practices. And how to construct coaching cycles that match each practice to the needs of your teacher-learners.

Workshop Overview

This professional development for instructional coaches includes 5 hours of interactive, hands-on professional learning. Sessions are conducted in real time, with a live facilitator. You’ll explore coaching scenarios and engage in discussions with fellow coaches.

As a participant, you’ll learn to plan and implement effective coaching cycles, and you’ll receive your own copies of all the print and digital resources to bring what you learn back to your school the very next day!

Unit 1: Reflective Teaching – Reflect on the Heart, Hands, and Head of effective teaching. Explore how reflection can support relationships and teacher ownership.

    The breakout rooms! This was so different than most pds because I was able to work with other teachers and talk about meaningful topics.

  2. John –

    I liked the back and forth and that the PD was more collaborative than completely instructive.

  3. Matt –

    Break out rooms and discussion were the best parts.

  4. Antony –

    The breakout groups to encourage honest discussion from teachers generally nervous to share in bigger groups.

    I liked the breakout rooms!

    It was nice to reflect myself on all the attributes of teaching. Room to Discover gives teachers ideas to try right away. It is very practical, which I liked! It was grounded in the real world unlike some PDs that are focused on theory.

    I really liked the hand, heart, mind concept in helping teachers self-identify where they want to focus their work and goal setting. It’s a nice way to get acquainted with the idea of coaching if, like many of us, you are the first in your district and are looking for a starting point.
