Powerful Communication Skills for Coaches
Begins April 2
Effective coaches model and facilitate the intentional use of reflective practices. They engage teachers and leaders to examine beliefs around equity, responsibility, and identity; challenge assumptions that interfere with growth and change; and apply evidence-based communication skills to build teacher self-efficacy.
In this facilitated, 20-hour online course, coaches will extend and deepen their use of coaching conversational skills to support the self-efficacy, intentionality, and critical thinking of others. Through live, facilitated sessions, as well as asynchronous learning and application tasks, both new and experienced coaches will practice critical coaching interactions with support from their colleagues and expert coaches, and share best practices for building self-awareness, listening, questioning, and facilitating coaching conversations.
Facilitated by expert coaches Joellen Killion and Andrea Gautney, “Powerful Communications Skills for Coaches” begins April 2.
