Stories have the power to inspire, connect, and transform. A great story doesn’t have to be saved for the end of a coaching cycle or after you’ve implemented your Coaching Action Plan. Sharing impactful coaching moments can spark new ideas, build community, and help create a sustainable community of practice in your school or district.
What’s a memorable coaching moment that has left a lasting impact on you or your community?

Action: We included monthly Apple iPad PD sessions to our Annual School Plan this year for teachers in grades K-2 since we now have 1:1 iPads for K-2 students and classroom teachers. I first conducted a survey to determine the levels of knowledge and experience and get input on sessions that teachers would find beneficial.
Why: To ensure that iPads are being utilized productively to engage students and make learning more dynamic. As an instructional coach, I plan the sessions to introduce various apps and bring in our district curriculum to the activities so that teachers can see the possibilities to utilize iPads as a tool within our curriculum.
Others: Administrators sit in on sessions to participate themselves. K-2 teachers collaborate during and after sessions and brainstorm ideas to extend each session into their own practice. Teachers share ideas they have tried in their classrooms to start sessions.
