Expert Coaching Masterclass

Instructional leaders are tasked with the critically important job of supporting teachers to improve; while this can be rewarding work, it is also nuanced and can be difficult to prioritise in the busy school week. In this interactive and rigorous one-day workshop, Bron explores principles of expert coaching that can be adapted for any professional learning program. Practices and processes to support instructional coaching are outlined, with plenty of examples from the field shared.
