PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
How ready are you for a new approach to your personal professional development? The practice of coaching (literacy, instructional) has existed in our schools for some time, but have you, as a leader in a school system, ever had the opportunity to learn about yourself and your leadership through a coaching relationship? How would you benefit from investing in the fine-tuning of your expertise? How would your teams benefit? Your teachers? Students?
There is a sad tendency in education to view coaching from a deficit lens, meaning coaches are for people who need support, who are failing. But...here’s what I know about that kind of thinking: Those thoughts are coming from a person who has never been coached by a professional! It's the thinking of someone who doesn't know what they don’t know. People who hire coaches are people who understand the power in a partnership of being coached to accomplish their goals, 100% focused on the agenda they bring! It’s a powerful, individualized process that focuses on you, your energy, and your goals.
How ready are you to embrace the possibilities of looking at coaching through an asset-based lens? To approach your professional learning via coaching?Check out the packages that might best suit your district, building, or individual needs.

Instructional & Literacy Coaching
When working collaboratively with principals, these are some of the most powerful positions we have in our school systems!

NEW TEACHER &
ADVANCING EQUITY COACHING
New Teachers
​
How do you systemically support new teachers? In many districts, we assign them a buddy teacher, hoping a mentoring relationship will develop. We all recognize the problem with this approach: Time, or the lack of it, a mentor has to offer. What if you invested in your new teachers with an experienced literacy and energy coach?
​
​
Advancing Equity
​
In Wisconsin we’re engaged in the work around the opportunity gaps that exist in the system. What about your district? How is that work going? What’s the energy around ableism, identities, privilege, and biases? How might coaching individuals lead to a different energy and culture around equity for all of our students?
