This course is appropriate for teacher leader roles to include instructional coaches, reading coaches, PLC team leaders, and teacher mentors. Teacher leaders will learn how to apply coaching models to build teaching capacity while supporting efforts toward the achievement of specific classroom objectives. Using protocols for student-centered coaching (Sweeney, 2011), and around the Danielson and Marzano framework domains, participants will be taken through the processes that work into effective support through the use of feedback and pro-actions. Practice with the use of feedback protocols will culminate multiple entry-points used to teach strategies and behaviors that support and reward teachers. Participants will learn how to intentionally apply a host of coaching strategies as they work appropriately within their respective roles.
Course Outcomes:
- Cultivate and support teacher effectiveness.
- Identify specific teacher strengths and gaps in order to help develop and support an intervention plan.
