Are you ready to elevate the impact of your educational support systems? Last year, ESC consultants from across the state designed a transformative four-day Foundations of Instructional Coaching Workshop that addresses the critical needs of instructional coaching in today’s diverse educational environments. This workshop series was created to respond to the pressing challenges faced by educators, including the lack of coherence in defining and deploying effective coaching practices, limited resources, and the need for measurable impact.
OESCA recognized that successful instructional coaching requires a unified understanding of what it entails and how it can be effectively implemented within classrooms, schools, and districts. To address these needs, the workshop series is built around three core objectives: establishing common criteria for effective coaching, developing and honing your coaching practices, and ensuring the sustainability of coaching efforts through ongoing measurement and monitoring of impact.
Throughout this workshop, participants will dive deep into essential coaching principles, including fostering collaborative and trusting relationships, understanding the dynamics of adult learning, and using data to drive instructional improvement. The sessions are designed to equip you with the knowledge and strategies needed to build and sustain coaching relationships, create communities of practice, and ultimately transform teaching and learning in your educational setting.
