Description
This 85-page ebook instructs new and existing coaches in approaches to coaching room setup, becoming comfortable in your role, visiting and providing feedback to teachers, organizing, and supporting teacher in so many different ways!
(This is also included in the Instructional Coaching Bundle!)
When I decided to accept the position as an instructional coach four years ago, I wasn't sure what my day would look like. I didn't really know how to set up my room for support services. And I was nervous about building a relationship with teachers on a new campus. Flash forward to four years later, and I've learned a few things!
In this ebook, I share information and tips that have been valuable to me as a coach. How to set instructional coaching goals, set up your space, and work with teachers with challenging personalities are just a few of the sections in this book.
Learn about planning useful professional development and a quality approach to mentoring teachers through coaching conversations, modeling, co-teaching, and debriefing. Read about how to deal with difficult emotions and situations. And discover the qualities that I find the most valuable in an instructional coach! Practical steps and pictures will help you get started off on the right foot in your coaching journey!
