Instructional Coaching Planner – Monthly Checklists, PD Topics, and Calendars
When I work with coaches, I get three questions, over and over:
- What should I be doing each month of the year?
- What PD topics work best at different times of the year?
- What should I do to reach my goals? Time just seems to pass and I don’t get there.
If you’ve felt these frustrations or doubts, you’re not alone! Instructional coaching can feel sort of flimsy, like we don’t have anything nailed down and our days just float away, filled with hour after hour of meetings, subbing, and copies.
So how can we organize ourselves to focus on what’s important, all year long?
