Practical Approaches for Effective Coaching and Mentoring

Are you new to a leadership or coaching role and would like to expand your skills? Are you an experienced coach hitting roadblocks in your coaching conversations, or finding yourself not knowing what to say or do next to support your colleagues? Intentional leaders understand the importance of building strong coaching and mentoring relationships, which are vital for long-term faculty success, retention, and well-being. Effective coaches and mentors utilize purposeful practices in their relationships and conversations. Join us to learn and apply best practices for engaging in meaningful and productive coaching and mentoring.
Through small group discussion, individual reflection, scenario analysis, and role play, attendees will learn to better navigate the current reality and develop skills that increase impact and foster resilience and agency.
Part one of this two-part series is for novice coaches who wish to learn and practice foundational coaching approaches and skills.
Part two of the series builds on part one and is designed to expand novice and experienced participants’ tools and techniques to best equip teachers in their professional growth.
Participation in part one is not required, but is strongly encouraged; pre-reading materials will be provided for those who only join part two. Participants will be able to apply their learning between sessions and use the group as thought partners throughout the school year. A wide range of resources will be shared.

Participants will:

• Explore your own coaching identity and stance as well as develop and practice techniques for professional self-care
• Establish a shared language of coaching frameworks and concepts to foster a collaborative working community
• Develop a tool box of practical strategies for engaging in coaching conversations
• Build ongoing connections with other educators involved in coaching and mentoring

Department heads, division heads, instructional coaches, teacher-leaders, novice and experienced coaches, anyone interested in mentoring and coaching.
