$1,200 per person | institute AND virtual Coaching Community of Practice (June TBD, 2026)

Everyone can use coaching skills to become a better leader. During this institute, you will develop and refine your coaching practice to support people in your school, district, or organization to become more effective teachers, teammates, and leaders. Participants will examine their own coaching style with a focus on equity while practicing new coaching skills with each other.

Learn a range of coaching skills, including:

• Approaches and stances to establish rapport and trust in coaching relationships
• Coaching interventions that build the capacity of individuals to create greater equity
• Tools and frameworks to plan, implement, assess, and improve coaching

In addition to coach practice and skill development, you will:

• Learn and experience approaches for understanding, raising, and addressing equity issues through the practice of coaching
• Reflect on who you are in this work and what skills and knowledge you need to be successful
• Deepen your understanding about what it means for you to support the learning, growth and development of another adult.

Participants will receive pre-reads and resources prior to the meeting via email. Please add [email protected] to your contacts to ensure you receive course communications. Breakfast and lunch will be provided on both institute days.

We are intensely focused on humanizing our spaces. We focus on interactivity and connection by providing frequent body breaks, and attending to learning, practice, and healing in community.

In an effort to create accessible spaces for everyone, we ask that participants refrain from wearing scented products such as perfume/colognes, hair products, cosmetics, and scented lotions while attending our event, as these products can trigger serious health issues for those with fragrance allergies and/or chemical sensitivities. For more information on being fragrance-free, visit this Fragrance Free Toolkit.
