About The Course
Everyone can use coaching skills to become a better leader. During this course, you will develop and refine your coaching practice to support people in your school, district, or organization to become more effective teachers, teammates, and leaders.

Tools and frameworks to plan, implement, assess, and improve coaching
In addition to coach practice and skill development, you will:
Learn and experience approaches for understanding, raising, and addressing equity issues through the practice of coaching
Reflect on who you are in this work and what skills and knowledge you need to be successful
Deepen your understanding about what it means for you to support the learning, growth and development of another adult.
