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.  Participants will examine their own coaching style with a focus on equity while practicing new coaching skills with each other. 

Learn a range of coaching skills, including:

  • Approaches and stances to establish rapport and trust in coaching relationships

  • Coaching interventions that build the capacity of individuals to create greater equity

  • 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.
