Instructional Coaching for Music Educators
Looking for real change that only comes from sustained support? Consider instructional coaching!
Instructional coaching is the perfect solution to abbreviated workshops we have all become accustomed to during professional development conferences and teacher PD days.
Because professional development and teacher support are sustained over time, results are more likely to come to fruition. This approach is also more practical for teachers in the long-run.
My instructional coaching centers:
A longer-term professional relationship (usually over the span of 4 months to 2 years) where teachers and I partner to improve teaching and learning so students are more successful
Flexibility and adaptability as teachers’ contexts change over time
Teacher efficacy
A “progress over perfection” approach where teachers make small changes over time that can create a lasting impact on students
As a coach, I collaborate with teachers to get a clear picture of their current reality, identify goals, pick teaching strategies to meet the goals, monitor progress, and problem solve so that goals are met.
Instructional coaching can take many forms (whole group coaching, 1-1 coaching of teachers who are part of the same team, or a mixture of both).
