An effective coach will help the DI teacher evolve from a technician to an engineer of instruction. To help equip you to help others in this evolution, NIFDI's two popular Coaching Academies will be held in Arlington Heights, Illinois this fall.
On October 15 & 16, we will present Coaching I-Analyzing & Responding to Student Performance Data. Through demonstrations, practice and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to:
- Gain meaningful information from lesson progress and in-program mastery data.
- Model how to improve written records.
- Conduct supportive classroom observations and demonstrations aimed at increasing student success.
- Provide effective oral and written feedback to instructors to directly impact student performance.
- Design and deliver effective, on-going professional development sessions.
We will return to Arlington Heights November 19 & 20 for Coaching II-Conducting Classroom Observations & Providing Feedback. This session will provide participants with information and practice in:
- Refining observational skills to increase the coach's ability to provide data-driven feedback.
- Facilitating rehearsal sessions.
- Determining the appropriate intervention based on data and observation.
- Facilitating Data Analysis Team meetings to find and solve student performance problems in a timely manner.
The Academy trainer, Tamara Bressi, is an experienced DI teacher, trainer and coach. As an Implementation Manager for NIFDI and an independent consultant, she has provided support to schools implementing DI around the world—from Oregon to Colorado to Australia to Guam and Africa.
