The First Month Blueprint: What Every Instructional Coach Should Do in August

The First Month Blueprint: What Every Instructional Coach Should Do in August

The first month of school can set the tone for your entire year of coaching. But with new schedules, new teachers, competing priorities, and approximately 900 things demanding your attention, knowing where to start isn't always obvious. In this webinar, the Edu20/20 team breaks the first month of instructional coaching into a practical blueprint built around three questions: WHAT is our instructional focus, WHO needs support, and WHEN will coaching happen? You'll learn how to use data to identify an instructional focus, determine which teachers need support first, establish clear expectations for coaching, conduct baseline walkthroughs, and build a coaching schedule that moves you from planning into meaningful coaching cycles. You'll also receive practical resources to help you put the blueprint into action, including a 4-week August calendar with specific steps you can adapt to your own school or district.
