Upcoming PD Opportunities

The Instructional Coaching Network is an ongoing collaborative learning opportunity for instructional coaches, leaders of coaches and anyone invested in coaching teaching within Northeast Ohio. The Network provides a time and space for instructional coaches to connect research to practice, share and discover coaching resources, troubleshoot challenges, support colleagues and inspire new learning. This group will meet in person and virtually throughout the year and participants are welcome to attend all sessions or individual sessions.

For the October 9th session, instructional coaches are encouraged to bring an administrator or coaching leader. The focus of the network will be on creating a consistent plan and process for coaching, defining the role of instructional coaching in a district, and strengthening partnerships to ensure coaching impacts teaching and learning.

This session is designed specifically for high school educators who work with English Learners. Let’s connect, collaborate, share ideas, and work together to ensure our students succeed.

Possible topics Include:

• Placement Processes
• Current Legislation
• Graduation Requirements
• Newcomer and SIFE Support
• Scaffolds for Learning
