In my previous post, I described the implementation of the coaching program at our school and how we created a Coaching Menu infographic with a list of our offering options. We had previously created a presentation to roll it out as a team of coaches and coordinators.
We included our beliefs:
Some types of coaching models:
What coaching is and is not:
Teacher and coach commitments:
The differences between a School Leader and a Coach:
What working with a coach can look like:
Some differences between Tech and Instructional Coaching:
And more…
These worked perfectly for the rollout, but we soon realized that teachers forgot the presentation, at least in Middle School, and didn’t have a place to share our Coaching Menu. We use Google Classroom for communication purposes. It has worked very well, but constantly adding information to it will send notifications directly to teachers’ inboxes, which may overwhelm teachers and dilute admin messages in the stream.
That is why one of my colleagues shared the idea of building a Coaches’ website. I created it by adding some of the presentation information and our previously created Coaching Menu, bios, testimonials, resources, and more. This website will eventually be rolled out and serve as a repository of our resources, keeping it under our consolidated suite of Google Workspace products.
Here is the link to the website, and below are some images of how it is looking right now.

Looking forward to deploying this website, and I will be back with more information on the results!
