The Power of Coaching Cycles

Why Establish Coaching Cycles

Coaching cycles help administrators focus on targeted instructional strategies for a predetermined time period and provide opportunities for teachers to reflect, refine, and grow their practice. As you plan your coaching cycle it is crucial to reflect on the successes and challenges you encountered in the past to inform your decisions. By linking your coaching cycles to targeted areas of improvement, you will enhance instructional practices, nurture student engagement, and build a thriving learning community.

How can digiCOACH help?

Having the right information at the right time is the beginning of making the right decision. When the feedback loop from the administrator to the teacher is timely and tight, the chances of improvement increase dramatically. Using digiCOACH during walkthroughs and giving almost immediate feedback allows for quick course corrections and data collection. Having real-time data helps leaders quickly provide support when and where it is needed.
