Description
Sometimes, in the busyness of school life, it can be hard to carve out time for reflection and the practicing of coaching skills. The 2024 Instructional Coaching Lab is an online forum comprising three 35-minute sessions each term, for practicing coaches, beginning coaches, or existing coaches seeking a refresher and the opportunity to tap into a professional network.
Led by practicing coaches, the 2024 Instructional Coaching Lab will be facilitated by Dr Mark Dowley (Director of the Crowther Centre) and Raelene Plozza (Head of Instructional Coaching), from Brighton Grammar School. They will facilitate short, highly practical sessions, designed to increase the quality of coaching conversations. For each session, participants will be able to select from a range of times and join the one that best suits their circumstances.
Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in an immersive coaching experience at a local school in WA in early Term 2.
The Coaching Lab provides a structured space for coaches to engage with Mark and Raelene to
- practice key coaching skills and grow their repertoire
- discuss solutions to common coaching challenges
- connect with other practicing coaches from across Independent schools in Australia.
In the first week of February, participants will be emailed and invited to choose the dates and times for the session they would like to attend, and will receive a link to join their session of choice.
