Coaching Certification Program
K-12 Instructional Coaching
Our K-12 Instructional Coaching Certification program develops the skills education professionals need to deliver high-impact, teacher-centered coaching to the educators they support. Participants learn the fundamentals of coaching, strategies to aid in goal setting and ways to model best practices. Participants will discover how to effectively collect and use data to facilitate coaching conversations that lead to improved teacher practice and student outcomes.
