Effective Coaching Institute: Develop, Sustain, and Retain Successful Teachers

“I attended all four of Nicole Turner's sessions and found it to be the most valuable aspect. My team and I feel ready to implement what we learned from her practical advice and instruction. The tools and forms she shared will definitely be put to good use. Her experience coaching and supporting teachers in Title 1 schools that need immediate changes to occur was the exact knowledge we needed!”

—Erin Huddleston, teacher, Oaklawn STEM/Hot Springs School District, Arkansas

“The proven strategies and networking opportunities built in to this event enabled me to discover additional strategies to support my K–6 teachers and teams.”

—Gloria Richardson, Weaver Elementary/West Memphis School District, Tennessee

“I loved the rest of the presenters and all seemed to be very much in tune with what is current and what we need to feel validated and energized. Having new tools to pull from has made me ready to go back and try some of them. Things like Tiering the teachers, putting schedule on door and more.”

—Shanna Hollis, Huntsville Independent School District/Scott Johnson Elementary, Alabama

“This was my first experience with a coaching PD. I loved that it was well rounded. I was able to find break-outs on the how to's of everything from implementation at a site, to buy-in, to the technical how's of coaching.”

—Gwendolyn L. Preston, principal/assistant, Coastal Academy

“It was so actionable for me as a coach! I have attended the PLC and RTI events, which helped our school with the big picture. This event helped me better understand where I fit into that bigger picture. I came with questions about how much time to spend where specifically coaching teams v individuals. I feel I have much more clarity in that after the event. I also had questions about how to measure my effectiveness as a coach, and I feel I better understand that as well.”

—Rebekah Janke, Dickinson Public School District, North Dakota

“A practical and easily implemented coaching protocol (Nicole Turner). Alongside Michelle Marrillia and her very knowledgeable and insightful sharing of what coaches and teachers need and deserve, I am much better equipped to do what I have been hired and tasked to do.”

—Heather Petersen, California Military Institute

“Knowing more about my ill-defined position means so much to me! The concept of coaching cycles seemed divorced from our work as coaches, though it was part of our teacher induction work, and I love that Turner clarified that so beautifully for us.”

—Kelli Smith, Foothill High School, California
