The indelible impact of COVID-19 has changed the role instructional coaches play in literacy learning and leadership in ways that will persist beyond the pandemic. In this three-hour event, presenters will offer insight on what it means to be a coach in 2022, as well as share strategies for strengthening the entire literacy leadership team.

What to expect:

• Ways to define coaching in the context of a full leadership team and why that’s important

• Shifts to support effective literacy leadership during times of disrupted learning

• Models of coaching that improve student outcomes through teacher/coach partnerships

• Ideas for planning ahead: What to do now to prepare for a successful school year

• Coaching practices that promote equity, social-emotional learning, and more

Hosted by Jacy Ippolito, with a keynote by Rita Bean, the Intensive also features Adam Brieske-Ulenski, Pamela A. Mason, and Benjamin Piper; a conversation and Q&A with all speakers rounds out the event.
