| Based on The Impact Cycle (2017) by Jim Knight, this workshop describes the coaching cycle process for instructional coaches. All teachers, schools, and classrooms face their own unique challenges. An established process for guiding the coaching experience ensures that instructional coaches have all of the tools they need to help teachers set and achieve their goals for students. The Impact Cycle-the product of 20 years of ICG research (seeinstructionalcoaching.com/research) - provides a framework for any classroom coaching scenario. Participants in this workshop will learn why the cycle is successful and will gain experience using it through examples and guided exercises. |

| Potential Audience: | |||||||||
| This workshop will appeal to decision makers, instructional coaches, site-based professional developers, principals, and all educators interested in learning more about instructional coaching. The institute will address how to coach (methods that coaches can use to enable instructional improvements) not what to coach (instructional practices). This workshop is most appropriate for professional developers and other educational professionals who are interested in learning about how to accelerate professional learning in schools. |
