Our coaches have a deep understanding of an instructional coaching cycle they can follow to ensure that real, significant improvement occurs in all teachers’ classrooms. THE COACHING CYCLE

DEFINED The coaching cycle is a series of interactions between a coach and teachers with the purpose of increasing student outcomes in an area identified by the teachers. An effective coaching cycle helps coaches and teachers work as partners to set a student-focused goal based on current reality, identify and explain high-yield teaching practices to meet the goal, and provide support until the goal is met. THE EVIDENCE ● Teacher Credibility: trust, competence, dynamism and immediacy. (ES .90) ● Micro-teaching: a video recording of a lesson with a debriefing. (ES .88) ● Teacher Clarity: (ES .75) THE WHY ● Coaching improves student outcomes in the target focus area set by the teacher. ● Coaching Improves teacher ability to self-assess based on a target and rubric.
