Description:

We are in a massive state of change in public education. In order to meet the need of major state initiatives, new learning styles, and the science behind what works, we must actively support and develop our teaching staff through the use of the right tools. In this Instructional Coaching course, participants will further develop skills necessary to coach teachers and administrators through a variety of change processes (initiatives). The course will explore teaching frameworks, high leverage teaching strategies, and how to effectively scaffold learning so staff can realize their full potential as educators.
