Workshop Description:
Grounded in Lead by Learning’s Supportive Challenge framework, this 2-part, virtual workshop series will sharpen your ability to lead coaching conversations that deepen colleagues’ awareness of instructional roadblocks, particularly those rooted in bias, while strengthening, rather than disrupting, collegial relationships. Through modeling, practice, and application, you’ll develop the skills to facilitate transformative coaching conversations that lead to more equitable outcomes for students.

Part 2 – January 29th, 2026:

Reflect on your coaching conversation using the notes and data gathered between sessions.
Engage in Public Learning, a collaborative protocol, to explore uncertainties, celebrate discoveries, and deepen your coaching practice.
Create a long-term plan on how to support your colleagues’ growth this year through coaching.

What to Expect:
This is a practice-based, interactive workshop series where you’ll engage with coaching frameworks, work through real scenarios, and rehearse strategies you can implement immediately. You’ll leave with concrete tools, enhanced confidence, and a clear plan for future coaching conversations.
Who should enroll:
This workshop is designed for instructional coaches, administrators, teacher leaders, and anyone who engages in coaching conversations with colleagues. Whether coaching is your primary role or part of your leadership responsibilities, you’ll discover strategies to question assumptions and examine equity challenges in ways that build trust and accountability.
