Coaching for School Leadership Cohort

The Coaching for School Leadership participants will receive at least 24 hours of professional learning sessions aligned to the FELS to develop the target audience of principal supervisors and principals through three components:

• Half-Day Launch: Foundations of Coaching for Instructional Excellence facilitated by Florida Atlantic University coaching expert consultants as a pre-conference to Discover '24 in June,
• Monthly interactive Virtual Forums: Coaching Mastery Network facilitated by FASA Regional Board Members,
• Two-Day Summit: Coaching for Sustained Instructional Excellence facilitated by Florida Atlantic University expert coaching consultants in-person.

Participants will…

• develop the ability to use coaching skills and strategies that help school leaders build self-efficacy through reflective practices and the self-identification of instructional leadership competencies.
