Feel like you’re guessing your way through instructional coaching?

This course gives you structure, clarity, and coaching tools that work in real schools — not just in theory.

This course will be an absolute GAME-CHANGER if you answer YES to either of these questions:

  • Are you an instructional coach who transitioned from the role of a classroom teacher without formal training for the job?

  • Do you find yourself navigating the challenges of coaching with limited guidance and support?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Coaching is one of the most powerful levers in a school — but it’s also one of the hardest to do well.

Most coaches are thrown into the role without a roadmap. You’re expected to support teachers, manage your time, lead meaningful conversations, and track impact... all without much training. You want to make a difference. But it’s hard to do that when your role is unclear, your calendar is packed, and you’re constantly putting out fires.

How much better would it be with ...

Step-by-step guidance and printable tools, you’ll build a coaching system that lets you support teachers and stay grounded in your role — without burning out. Here are the included topics:

  • DEFINING THE COACHING ROLE: Gain clarity and understanding around your instructional coaching role, its purpose, and responsibilities.

  • BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS: Learn proven techniques for establishing strong connections with administrators and teachers to foster collaboration and support.

  • THE FIRST MONTH: Discover effective strategies for providing targeted support to teachers in their first month while also showcasing and marketing your coaching expertise.

  • COACHING LOGISTICS AND ORGANIZATION: Master the practical aspects of coaching, including time management, scheduling, and record-keeping, to ensure smooth operations.

  • BEST PRACTICES FOR TEACHER MEETINGS: Explore strategies for structuring impactful coaching meetings, setting clear expectations, and facilitating meaningful conversations that drive teacher growth.

  • DEEP DIVE INTO COACHING CYCLES: Explore the coaching cycle framework and dive deep into each stage, learning how to effectively plan, observe, provide feedback, and reflect to maximize teacher development.

With 7 hours of video content, interactive guided notes, and a flexible schedule, you can progress at your own pace while building a solid foundation in instructional coaching.

Alyson Dowda

Instructional Coach

Hi, educator friends! My name is Alyson Dowda and I've been an instructional coach at a high school since 2015. Before that, I taught elementary school for 11 years. I am genuinely passionate about using my experiences to improve teacher coaching and student learning!

I am a NERD for all things education-related and am always reading, learning, and implementing best practices for the classroom. Along the way, I've picked up some helpful nuggets for teachers, coaches, and administrators that I LOVE sharing!
