Coaching and mentoring have been proven to be highly effective strategies for ensuring positive change in people and organizations. Our courses in this subject area will help educators learn and practice essential coaching skills to inspire continual improvement in their classrooms across curricula. Emphasis on the development of communication skills, both verbal and non-verbal, will help to build rapport between and among students, teachers, parents and administrators. Educators will garner knowledge and skills required to develop and implement an effective coaching and mentoring program for administrators, teachers, and facilitators. Educators will also learn to develop relationship skills that enable them to provide emotional and instructional support to others, as well as skills in self-reflection, questioning, and observation. These courses present all phases of the mentor/protg relationship in a format designed to assist schools in implementing this proven and highly effective practice. Supplemental technology resources will further inspire teachers (and their students) and, ultimately, improve teacher practices and help build professional applications to real- world situations.
