High Impact Instruction
Date: Feb. 5-6, 2018
Time: 8:oo a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Location: The workshop location is now in Ames at Heartland AEA, 511 S. 17th Street.
Target audience: Classroom teachers, instructional coaches, teacher leaders and administrators
Jim Knight and his colleague Ann Hoffman will deliver instructional coaching trainings throughout 2017 and into 2018. These trainings are offered by Iowa’s Area Education Agencies and therefore, educators and administrators are welcome to attend in any of these locations.
Knight and his colleagues have identified six essential domains (knowledge and skills) that need to be in place for instructional coaches to succeed. When any of these is missing, a coach’s chances for success are significantly diminished. The domains are:
1. Understanding how to work with adults
2. Understanding the coaching cycle
3. Understanding high-impact teaching practices
4. Understanding how to gather data and use video as a part of coaching
5. Effective communication skills
6. Effective leadership skills and systems thinking (what principals need to know about coaching)
