The Framework for an Effective Principal Instructional Coach Partnership
The Principal and Instructional Coach Dynamic is instrumental for a successful coaching program. The relationship has be to be centered on trust, a shared vision and mission, and related goals to build and ensure alignment for reaching those goals. It is critical that the principal and the coach meet on a regular basis, partner with each other as thought leaders to have continued improvement with teacher instruction and building teacher capacity, and that both the principal and the coach understand the roles and responsibilities of the coach. In this presentation, I will share and explain the 5 most critical components for an effective principal and coach relationship.
