Because of the expectations placed on coaches for developing others’ knowledge and skills, they too need opportunities to develop their own. Coaches need firsthand experience with planning and implementing instruction related to the standards. They must also develop a deeper level of understanding as well as their own examples to draw from as they interact with teachers in their building. Through reflective practice, especially in dialogue with other coaches or teachers, coaches build an appreciation and empathy for the changes that teachers face. Our goal with NGRESA’s Coaches Academy this year is to provide the tools necessary to make our school level academic coaches confident and prepared to meet any academic needs in their buildings. Based on the Learning Forward book Coaching Matters, our goal is to provide our academic coaches with the tools and resources they need to be successful. We will incorporate a variety of activities into our sessions to actively engage participants and allow for them to learn from others who perform the same role in their school.
