As an instructional coach, or leader of coaching, you know that coaching makes a difference in schools. You’ve seen a teacher try something new and watched students light up because of it. You've heard the conversations in team meetings where a once frustrated teacher excitedly shares the progress her students made on a lesson you co-planned. But when someone asks what coaching actually does, the answer isn’t always easy to put into words. This session will help you find those words. You’ll get clear on the heart of your role, learn how to steer your time toward the coaching that matters most, and examine practical ways to capture your impact and share it with the leaders in your school and district. You’ll also connect with coaches from other districts who understand your work, swap ideas that are working right now, and leave with tools you can use the very next week. Come ready to be energized, inspired, and reminded why you love this work.
