Coaches Academy

Empower your coaches and the leaders who support them

Now offered virtually!

Instructional coaches are an invaluable resource in any learning system. Coaches have the power to influence teaching, student learning, and school culture. Effective coaches can ensure that 90% of staff learning transfers to the classroom.

As we prepare for an uncertain new school year, teachers more than ever need the support of a highly effective coach to ensure their instruction meets the needs of all students. And coaches need to understand their roles as leaders and facilitators of virtual learning, and develop the knowledge and skills to provide support in a virtual context.

Learning Forward’s Coaches Academy focuses on developing coaches’ skills in building relationships, leading professional learning, and individual and team coaching.

Using strategies from Taking the Lead: New Roles for Teachers and School-Based Coaches and Coaching Matters, Learning Forward’s Coaches Academy provides comprehensive learning and ongoing support for your system’s coaches and the leaders who support them.

We are now hosting virtual Coaches Academies for districts to help their coaches support teachers in ways that reflect best practices in adult learning as well as best practices in virtual learning. Our Virtual Coaches Academy includes:

• Live, facilitated sessions with an expert coach;
• Asynchronous, collaborative learning communities to reflect on learning, reinforce strategies, and share progress;
• Tools and strategies specific to coaching in a virtual context;
• Individual support for coaches as they work virtually with teachers in their systems.

Empower your coaches to provide teachers the support they need in a time when they need it most. Learn more about our Coaches Academy at the link below.
