A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

As educators, we must develop our students’ capacity to think deeply, to become effective learners and to be efficient problem solvers. As coaches, we can begin this movement by our influence on teachers and building a culture of learning. As an experienced instructional coach, I have seen first-hand how the right partnership between coach and teacher can help construct clarity, articulate direction and accelerate this journey. I’m energized and motivated to share with you what I know works.

I can relate to the many challenges coaches face as well and I will provide you with numerous techniques for working through tough situations. During this intensive two-day institute, I will share with you my best proven methods for targeting what is the most beneficial for students – in any situation. I will help you engage in more meaningful interactions when working side-by-side in the trenches with teachers. You will learn coaching structures that build on your expertise and immediately impact your ability to inspire change. You will also take away concrete ideas about feedback and questioning. I promise you more wins and better methods for overcoming the challenges we all face as coaches. Please join me and your colleagues, for two, fast-paced invigorating days devoted to enhancing your instructional coaching skills. I look forward to working with you in this game-changing work. You will leave this institute excited and equipped with innovative approaches and new ideas!

Sincerely,
Jaime Bailey

P.S. The focus of our two days together will be on sharing practical ideas and strategies I’ve learned from my own teaching and coaching that I know will build greater teacher capacity and accelerate student learning.
