Instructional Coaching
Better Conversations & The Impact Cycle
May 6 - 7, 2019
Facilitated by
Jim Knight
Workshop Overview
For more than two decades, Jim Knight and his research colleagues in Kansas have been working to identify best practices for instructional coaching. The most recent result is two books: Better Conversations, which describes the communication principles and habits that lead to mutually humanizing conversations, and The Impact Cycle, which describes a simple and powerful way coaches can help teachers improve teaching to improve student learning.
In this institute, participants explored and practiced the Better Conversations principles and habits, and learnt how to implement the identify, learn, and improve components of the Impact Cycle. They also received many tools to use while coaching and communicating.
