Instructional Coaching Professional Learning Day
This new workshop explores the techniques of instructional coaching, a powerful way to frame feedback, hone listening and questioning skills, and bring out the best in faculty and students alike. Informed by the latest thinking in this emerging field, you’ll be equipped with a new perspective on teaching practises that will benefit all in your educational community and advance your students' learning.
2019 Coaching Collaborative Workshop
Our first CIS Ontario Coaching Collaborative Workshop took place in October 2019 and was facilitated by Heather Clayton, an educator, leader, speaker, and developer of teams for over 20 years.
Participants gained greater clarity about coaching and models of coaching. They learned and practiced skills such as: The 3 Levels of Listening, 5 Disciplines of Asking Questions, Principals for Constructing Effective Questions and more.
The afternoon offered an option to attend a workshop of Coaching Training with Heather Clayton or Coaching and Teacher Growth: Exploring Models and Sharing Practice with Mary Gauthier and Derrick des Vignes.
A huge thank you to the CIS Ontario Coaching Collaborative, a group of committed educators who planned the day.
