Instructional Coaching Institute
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.

Outcomes
Skills they can use on day one.
Everything in this training is built around what coaches actually do in classrooms — not hypothetical scenarios.
A repeatable coaching framework
Leaders leave with a clear process for setting instructional goals, differentiating your approach for each teacher, and facilitating coaching cycles that lead to real changes in practice.
A manual coaches actually use
Every coach leaves with Jill Jackson’s coaching guide — the resource that keeps your whole team aligned on processes, language, and expectations long after training ends.
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.
