Virtual Coaching
Instructional coaches benefit greatly from having a coach of their own. Virtual coaching for instructional coaches and school leaders is my signature offering.
Virtual coaching allows for immediate, focused, customized coaching to fit your needs! Virtual coaching is also cost-effective!

Onsite Coaching Support
Onsite Coaching Support provides an opportunity for instructional coaches to experience coaching in real-time with colleagues. These opportunities are set up in local school buildings. Group sizes are best at 10 to 15 participants. One participant will actually demonstrate an element of coaching usually with a teacher. The rest of the group will observe and then all participants debrief the experience and determine their own next steps in coaching.
I strongly believe professional learning opportunities are not “one-time events.”
Virtual or onsite follow-up will provide opportunities to implement your new learning!
