Effective supervision and coaching are critical to supporting teacher growth and improving student outcomes, but too often these efforts feel disconnected from the broader school improvement plan. We hear school folks say, “I’m not even sure what our school goals are!” or “The school improvement plan has no connection to my daily work.” This workshop will provide strategies for aligning supervision and coaching to your school's goals and priorities so that they are centered within the work.
Participants will explore ways to differentiate teacher supports so the entire faculty is able to make progress. We'll discuss feedback practices that lead to meaningful action, and create an infrastructure to ensure teachers' time and energy is focused on student learning.
Additionally, we'll examine models for determining the impact of leadership and coaching and create a concrete plan for integrating supervision and coaching into a cohesive system that drives student achievement.
Workshop Objectives:
-
Explore how to align supervision and coaching to school improvement efforts
-
Identify ways to differentiate supports to teachers so the whole school moves forward
-
Discuss feedback practices that lead to action
-
Create an infrastructure of support for teachers so their work is focused on student learning
-
Examine models for determining leadership and coaching impact
-
Determine coaching methods that will be most effective based on the teacher's needs and the school improvement needs
