Learning Forward’s online course offerings continue with Implementing a Coaching Cycle, which starts April 17. In this 15-hour, three-week course, expert coaches Heather Clifton and Andy Mendelsberg will unpack the coaching cycle as well as examine practice components of a planning conversation to set the stage for coaches’ ongoing work with teachers.
Participants will:
- Illustrate and explain the components of the coaching cycle;
- Synthesize a variety of ways to structure coaching cycles and how to determine which structure is appropriate to use in a particular situation;
- Establish goals with a client for a coaching cycle;
- Examine key supports including demonstration, co-teaching, and observation with data gathering; and
- Identify key questions to ask during planning and reflection conversations.
