The Coach Certificate & Mentorship Program
The Coach Certificate Program is a comprehensive academic-year-long professional learning experience designed for experienced educators who are ready to be intentional and strategic in their instructional coaching role so they can build a thriving coaching culture. This course focuses on the essential foundations of instructional coaching and building an instructional coaching program.
Follow the Thrive Model for Instructional Coaching Success
In The Coach you will develop your coaching practice and program through the Thrive Model.
With clarity comes purpose. When we are clear on what the expectations are, we can implement the work, and then evaluate the results.
Consistency clarifies expectations. When you are able to implement coaching with consistency, you can demonstrate to teachers why they might want to opt-in to coaching with you.
Community grows culture. When coaches can begin to develop connections between teachers, to build capacity within the staff, they will build the foundations for a coaching culture.
Hi! I'm Kim.
After working as a coach in international schools for over 15 years – in Germany, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan, I started Eduro Learning to support schools and coaches in building a thriving coaching culture.
I have been working with instructional coaches, and school leaders, in schools around the world since 2015.
Even though each school context is different, all of them have the same problem: a weak foundation for coaching, including a lack of consistency across schools, so the problem arises again when they move to a new school.
What often happens in international schools is schools hire coaches, usually because another school in the region did it first (or because they want to be the first in the region), without clear definitions, standards of practice or expectation for the role and the program.
After being hired, the coach grows increasingly frustrated over three to four years due to this lack of understanding of the role at all levels, combined with little to no PD for the coach, leading to a resignation. Then, the position is not rehired, because school leadership (who may have also transitioned during this period) don’t see the value in the position, and then the cycle repeats itself several years later.
Don’t let this happen at your school! I can help you build the foundations of a thriving and sustainable coaching culture – as an educator, a coach or a school leader!
What's Inside?
Find Clarity
Finding Clarity is the essential first step in building a coaching culture and developing your coaching program and practice. Without clarity, we have confusion, miscommunication and misalignment of roles and expectations.
You’ll define or refine your role as a coach so you can clearly articulate your role with your school leaders & community.
Implement Consistently
Consistency clarifies expectations. When coaching is consistent, teachers know what to expect, so they know it’s a valuable use of their time.
You’ll implement (at least one) coaching cycle in your setting to develop your unique voice as a coach, navigate coaching stances, and document your coaching conversations.
Grow Community
With Clarity and Consistency in your practice, you will begin to develop a coaching culture. Community through coaching creates a sense of belonging.
You’ll develop the skills to start building a coaching culture by collecting data around your practice, leveraging your work with individuals to groups and teams, and documenting & sharing your work as a coach.
