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.
