Instructional Coaching Workshops

Instructional Coaching workshops, facilitated by Jim Knight or a Corwin-certified consultant, will provide a foundation for the instructional coaching program. Participants will walk away with techniques and materials that can be used right away.

Focus Areas

Instructional Coaching workshops can be completed in one day, two days, or three days. A one-day workshop primarily focuses on the Coaching Cycle and Partnering Fundamentals—Working with Adults.
