BELIEVE Tour
As we began to prepare for our summer conference, we became fascinated with the word BELIEVE. When studied, it has three meanings:
- To acknowledge the existence of something
- To be of the opinion that something is right or good
- To have confidence in a person or a course of action
So, no matter your role in education, we now know that:
- You are your best you.
- You are doing it right.
- We know you can do it.
I believe in love
I believe in music
I believe in magic
And I believe in you
I know with all my certainty
What's going on with you and me
Is a good thing
It's true; I believe in you
- Don Williams

Moves for Launching a New Year of Student-Centered Coaching
Engaging teachers in coaching is an ongoing process that requires planning and intentionality. Whether a coach is new to a school or has been there a while, the beginning of the year brings forth the opportunity for coaches to reboot, revamp, and re-envision how coaching will impact teacher and student learning. This session will provide a path forward for coaches, principals, and district leaders to use when launching coaching in the new school year. This session will feature strategies from our new book, Moves for Launching a New Year of Student-Centered Coaching: A Guidebook (Corwin). |

Coaching For Acceleration Through a Focus on People
The “catch-up” language around “learning loss” misses the real power of quality teaching and learning. What’s the impact on students who hear a teacher say, “We need to cram in lessons to catch up on what was missed?” What’s the impact on teachers who are hearing more about where students are, than where we wish to take them? Instructional coaches and school leaders can assist teachers in changing this language with a focus on people. Building educator and learner efficacy and agency is key. Knowing teachers and students we can personalize their success pathways. |
