Through this six-part online workshop and ongoing coaching, teachers and school leaders will learn about different coaching techniques and how to apply them to bring about meaningful growth. This course will help school leaders provide coaching experiences that support teachers in improving their practice through the development of problem solving, self-reflection and meaning-making skills.
