What Is Instructional Coaching?

Instructional Coaching is job-embedded professional development.

During Instructional Coaching for teachers, the coach:

  • facilitates pre-observation conversations, goal setting, and post-observation conferences.
  • conducts classroom observations to collect data on specified practices.
  • maintains a confidential relationship with the teacher.
  • supports teachers by consistently co-planning, co-teaching, and modeling lessons.

Instructional Coaching for teachers occurs one-on-one or with teams to improve the implementation of best instructional practices. ICs support teachers with setting goals, planning instruction, and formative assessment, as well as solving problems. Coaches then support by facilitating deep conversations about classroom observations and data collection, while maintaining a confidential relationship with the teacher. They also provide non-judgmental, non-evaluative, effective feedback.
