To continue growing our coaching toolkit and coaching best-practices, participants will take their learning on the road and visit four different districts within the BLaST IU17 region. At each district, coaches will focus on one of the four elements of coaching including one-on-one and small group coaching, analyzing data, using evidenced-based literacy/instructional strategies, and strategies to promote reflective practices. Complete the entire Coaching Caravan to get the full four-quadrant experience! Participants will witness the quadrants in action, and then reflect on how these practices could be used within their own building or district. These caravans will focus on the process of coaching and is applicable to all identified PIIC coaches; however, it is also applicable to PreK-12 teacher leaders, instructional coaches, department chairs, curriculum coordinators, and principals.
