TLC Coaches have many opportunities to sharpen their coaching skills.  This workshop focuses on the “what” of coaching – the techniques, tools and strategies that the coaches can use to help others most effectively implement the standards.   Coaches can build on whatever coaching model they have adopted in the district.  In this one-day workshop, Instructional Coaches will deepen and sharpen their understanding of the standards through activities that help them:

• Recognize instructional practices that align with the instructional shifts
• Practice academic conversations that might be initiated in coaching situations
• Develop strategies for sharing new instructional tools and resources
• Explore tools and resources that are available from MISIC and national organizations
• Establish clear criteria to use in evaluating and selecting instructional tools and resources for implementing the standards.
