Equity and excellence in teaching and learning.
Partnerships for effective coaching series: My Teaching Partner-Secondary
Presenters: Andrew Wayne, Destiny Shantell Woodbury, Meg Ryan and Ed Heisig
This webinar focuses on sharing information on the partnership with Learning Forward, American Institutes for Research (AIR), and Teachstone to bring an evidence-based coaching model to districts across the country. The MyTeachingPartner-Secondary Coaching Model (MTP-S) is a content-neutral coaching model anchored in the Classroom Assessment and Scoring System (CLASS). The MTP-S model has been proven to have a positive impact on strengthening instruction and increasing student engagement, leading to a reduction of racial disparities in disciplinary practices. AIR is continuing to help districts learn more about the My Teaching Partner-Secondary model and gain experience with it. If interested, you can book an appointment to find out more at secondarycoaching.org.
This webinar will feature a panel who will share their experiences in the partnership and with implementing the coaching model. Participants will be encouraged to share partnerships they have engaged in to bring professional learning to teachers and the impact on student growth.
Participants of this webinar will:
- Understand the benefits of partnerships for effective professional learning;
- Learn about the evidence-based MTP coaching model;
- Hear from participants in the field about how relationship building enhanced the impact of the model; and
- Have the opportunity to ask questions and share experiences.
