Coaching Center

Developing Coaching Capacity for Educators

Coaching Overview

The Coaching Center offers customized support for individual and team coaching in districts, schools, and community schools, as well as regional and state agencies. Recent work has focused on consultants at the state and regional levels, engaging them in practical activities to develop their foundational and advanced coaching skills.

Customized additions to foundational coaching (e.g., process coaching, cognitive coaching, technology applications for coaching) can be added based on specific needs.

The Coaching Center’s model includes five key practices organized in three global domains:

  • Building trust and relationships,
  • Using effective communication, and
  • Supporting the right work.
The foundational and advanced coaching series have been invaluable to our work at the State Support Team (SST). Coaching is arguably the most essential skill of the regional support staff. Building a consistent and coherent approach to coaching leads to better support in the field. The caliber of training would be difficult to replicate through a region-by-region approach. The use of a multi-region training increases integrity and extends learning through the establishment of a true learning community.

Setting time aside to meet with our team and our coach has been beneficial to our district. We have had several deep conversations around educational leadership and inclusive practices.

Inclusive instructional leadership (IIL) supports educators in school districts and schools to promote high levels of learning for all students, including students with learning challenges and/or those receiving special education services. It focuses on instructional leadership through the use of four key strategies – (1) promote systemwide learning, (2) prioritize teaching and learning, (3) build capacity through support and accountability, and (4) sustain an open and collaborative culture – that are actualized through the use of leadership teams [e.g., district teams, building teams, teacher-based teams, PLCs, etc.].
