Product Description of Instructional Coaching:
The School Improvement Network'sInstructional Coaching: School-Based Staff Development for Improved Teacher and Student Learning explains both what instructional coaching is and why it is effective in creating positive changes in schools. Instructional coaches are master teachers deployed in schools to help other teachers improve their overall effectiveness in the classroom. Instructional coaching is the best way to implement any development or improvement strategies in your schools. At the School Improvement Network, we feel instructional coaching is the basis you need in order to implement any of our other programs.Our program outlines how to develop and train coaches and then how to best utilize them in your schools. The program shows how teachers and coaches can use the Collaboration Cycle of pre-conferencing, classroom experience, and post-conferencing to become partners in improving student learning and achievement. Every step of the coaching framework, from creation to deployment, is explained and covered in detail in order to aid you in either beginning or improving the coaching program in your schools.

The greatest shortcoming of most professional development is the lack of follow-up and classroom implementation. At School Improvement Network, we work with you through every step of the process to ensure that our product both fits your needs and that real improvement is implemented in the classroom. All our products are fully designed for classroom implementation and are research-based and classroom-proven.
Our Instructional Coaching Facilitator Pack contains everything you need for fourteen hours of group training to effectively implement instructional coaching. Included is material for follow-up, in-depth and differentiated learning, and group discussions and activities. The training videos feature examples of real coaches working with real teachers in both elementary and secondary classrooms.
We know one-shot cures never work, which is why our program provides many opportunities for follow-up to ensure that strategies become embedded in your schools. Along with the group training offered in the Facilitator Pack, our Teacher Implementation Packs are designed to ensure that the knowledge being taught in group training sessions becomes a reality in each individual classroom--allowing for ongoing, individual study and follow-up with real classroom examples either online or via CD-ROM. By reinforcing the group training, strategies will become job-embedded.
Compared to traditional, one-time workshops, such focused and ongoing training is the most effective way that you can bring about teacher improvement. Ongoing training has a greater impact on student achievement than any other teacher characteristic besides the teacher's cognitive ability.
For fifteen years, the School Improvement Network has been creating practical solutions for educators, taking the best research-based methods and making them applicable to every teacher. The Network s product development teams have visited thousands of schools and every product contains real classroom examples, effectively helping to bridge the gap from training to classroom implementation. Let us design a program to aid you in implementing instructional coaching in your schools with our research-based and classroom-proven methods.
