Student-Centered Coaching: In this seminar, participants will be introduced to the theories and practices for student-centered coaching, a model for coaching that is less about fixing teachers and more about student learning. Particular emphasis will be placed on how student-centered coaching supports the implementation of the Standards for College and Career Readiness across grades K-12. Topics will include: coaching cycles with individuals and small groups, goal-setting with teachers, unpacking standards with teachers, scheduling coaching, and monitoring student and teacher growth across a coaching cycle.
Attendees will:
- Understand the core practices for student-centered coaching
- Compare student-centered coaching with other models for coaching
- Support teachers to set measurable goals for student learning
- Unpack the Standards for College and Career Readiness as an integral part of the coaching cycle
- Document the impact of a coaching cycle from beginning to end
- Establish a plan for collaboration between the coach and school leader
