Direct Instruction Coaching Academy: Enhanced Coaching and Facilitating Professional Development
An effective coach will help the Direct Instruction teacher evolve from a technician to an engineer of instruction. This session will provide participants with information and practice in:
-
Refining observational skills to increase the coach’s ability to provide data-driven feedback, including both short and extended observations.
-
Facilitating rehearsal sessions to provide practice for instructional staff in lesson formats and program content.
-
Determining the appropriate intervention based on student performance data and observations. (A brief overview of written records in the Direct Instruction classroom will be provided as part of this training.)
-
Facilitating Data Analysis Team meetings to find and solve student performance problems in a timely manner.
Registration:
Each participant that completes the 2-day Direct Instruction Coaching Academy will receive a certificate of participation.
