About The Coaching for Equity Institute
Everyone can use coaching skills to become a better leader. During this institute, 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.
What Participants Are Saying
“Dismantling anti-blackness systems, policies, mindsets, and beliefs as an educators starts with honest and safe inward work. NEP/LFE does just that by balancing critical hope with humanizing work. Love+Pain = Growth, but Love+Pain+Reflection = freedom. Thanks ya'll.”
-Jai David, Assistant Principal, Lodestar, Lighthouse Charter Schools
“This experience empowered me as a changemaker. It was clear from the beginning that NEP facilitators bring their entire hearts and selves to this work and I appreciated the thoughtfulness and engagement of my peers and colleagues. Thank you for creating this space for our group and providing room for us to grow.”
— Allie Bateman, Ford Next Generation Learning
“I have spent 3 years working on a doctorate in Equity Leadership. In fact, it's the focus of my dissertation. Nonetheless, the Leading for Equity experience was deeply educational and profound.”
-Ben Kates
