The Professional Development Toolkit for Instructional Coaches

Several pages from The Professional Development Toolkit for Instructional Coaches & Administrators arranged on a desk with the words "ALL IN ONE PD KIT" EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO PLAN, DELIVER & FOLLOW THROUGH ON QUALITY TRAININGSBuilding professional development that actually meets the needs of your teachers is a never-ending process, especially when you’re developing it from scratch. That’s why I created The Professional Development Toolkit for Instructional Coaches.

Tell me if this process sounds familiar when you’re planning PD.

You start by figuring out what your teachers need (and want), find the research, dig up the resources, look at the upcoming curriculum, figure out how to differentiate the activities, find the videos… and you’re still only halfway done.

Then you build the handouts, figure out how the teachers will respond, create the presentation, construct the activities, make the copies, sort the stuff, set things in piles, gather materials, and make your list…

Ugh, seriously, I’ve gone through this process hundreds of times and, as much as I love providing PD, the work that goes into is it NO JOKE. There are just so many moving parts!

And when you’re an instructional coach, that’s just one little part of your very big job. You’re doing this in between visiting classrooms, coaching teachers, intervening with students, sitting in leadership meetings, and doing all the things that coaches do every day. And sometimes you even get to eat lunch!

So I know what you’re going through, and I also know how important it is to provide top-notch PD to teachers because they deserve it and so do our students. The #1 rule of PD? Don’t waste your teachers’ time. But what can you do to save some of your precious time and provide teachers with opportunities for professional growth?

This is not content for professional development – you know the content. This is everything else that you’d have to create yourself: the PowerPoint and Keynote presentations, the editable handouts, the activities, the surveys, and the icebreakers!

This kit includes EVERYTHING for planning and delivering PD to educators so they can help their students.

I’m so excited to share it with you, because if I’d had this as an instructional coach, I could’ve turned some of those PD prep hours into quality time spent in classrooms instead.

I spent five years as a coach on an elementary school campus, and since then, I’ve been supporting coaches, teachers, administrators, and other staff members.

I know firsthand how time-consuming it is to build every single component of continuing professional development yourself, but we do it because we want the best for our staff and learners.

Now you can have the best without the soul-crushing hours spent reinventing the wheel.

This resource will give you back your time and free up hours on your calendar for doing the work that only you can do: supporting teachers and students in the classroom rather than sitting at a desk, searching for handouts you can download and designing PowerPoints from start to finish. With the PD Toolkit, you’ll be able to…
