Coaching can support novice teachers and improve their pedagogical practices. By reflecting on their interpretation of the coaching feedback they received and developing action plans to enhance their instruction, new teachers can learn strategies and approaches to get the most out of their coaching experience. Teachers will explore techniques for maximizing the return on investment from coaching at their schools as well as how to ensure that they act on and evaluate progress in light of coaching feedback. Participants will discover the value of self-awareness and how to make the most of their time working with an instructional coach.
