Coaching
At the end of the day, we’re all here to support the education of students. It’s why teachers and K-12 leaders got into this field – it’s all about students.
Our Coaching program is designed to support students by working directly with the people that interact with them every day: their teachers. By recognizing a teacher’s strengths and focusing on improving areas in which the teacher wants support, you’re improving the quality of instruction students receive every day (and helping your teachers feel more fulfilled and confident as a member of your school).
As participants in this program, teachers walk through research-based courses with certified FACTS associates who are not only great teachers, but are trained in the science of coaching. Our coaches use the Vosaic video platform to provide objective, easy-to-understand feedback to drive reflection and strategy conversations.
Coaching for Teachers
Focus Areas
Each six-week cycle is completely customizable, with a laser-like focus on one key area of teaching and learning.
Planning for Teaching & Learning
The right kind of preparation can make or break a lesson plan. We’ll walk through best practices that keep your teachers organized and on track whether teaching in-school or remotely.
Instructional Strategies
Educators are discovering new strategies on a regular basis. We’ll share effective best practices and the latest insights to keep them on top of their game.
Formative Assessment Strategies
In this area, we’ll help teachers establish strategies that help them continually measure student learning and adjust as needed.
Classroom Community Building & Engagement Strategies
By creating a classroom community, students are more engaged and comfortable sharing thoughts and ideas. This focus area helps teachers learn to build respect and rapport with students in a safe, open classroom environment.
