Instructional Coaching Institute

Instructional Coaching Institute

This two-day training gives instructional leaders a repeatable process for getting into classrooms, having conversations that change practice, and following through in ways that stick. Grounded in the Jill Jackson coaching methodology and built for the real classroom support needed every day.

Why This Training?

More than another coaching workshop

Your coaches need more than a binder of strategies. They need a process they can repeat with every teacher, in every classroom, every week. This training gives them that system — along with a shared language across your district, a coaching manual they will actually reference, and the confidence to start coaching differently the same week they finish.

A manual coaches actually use

Instructional Coaching Institute proof point 3

Confidence in every conversation

Learn to approach teachers for coaching without feeling awkward or evaluative, and how to build real trust without spending months on buy-in.
