Instructional coaching does not succeed on the strength of the coach alone. It thrives when leaders create the conditions that allow coaching to flourish. This session will provide school leaders with an inside look at the Newport News Public Schools Coaching Model and its role in improving teaching and learning. Participants will examine how their decisions around clarity, communication, and culture directly influence the effectiveness of coaching in their buildings. Leave with new ideas for supporting meaningful coaching partnerships and a personalized action step toward building systems where coaches, teachers, and students can all win.
