Agenda+June+9+2016

There are five competencies listed in the PDE Framework for Instructional Coach Endorsement Guidelines. Each competency is followed by a multitude of skills and abilities which each coach should know and be able to demonstrate at some level of proficiency in order to move teachers forward in their instructional practice. We have chosen four of those competencies for our work today: Instructional Coaching Skills A & B, Instructional Practices, Assessment, and Organizational Leadership and School Change.
 * Goals for the PIIC virtual conference **

One of the competencies listed by PDE is //Content//. That competency should be referenced in each of the other competencies with a focus on Adult Learning for our work today.

 * 1) How do coaches demonstrate their understanding of statewide/district-wide goals? What do they need to know and be able to do?
 * 2) What does a coach need to know and be able to demonstrate about their own understanding of statewide initiatives and standards driven instruction while supporting teachers in implementing effective instructional practices?


 * Process **
 * 1) Review the Candidate Competencies from the PDE Coach Endorsement, pp. 6-9, found [|here];
 * 2) Each group will be assigned one competency to explore;
 * 3) Identify at least three skills/abilities for each of the competencies that will address what coaches need to know and be able to demonstrate so they can move teacher practice forward;
 * 4) Design professional learning sessions for each of these skills to populate a professional development plan for coaches;
 * 5) Decide where, when, and the audience (novice and/or veteran) for these sessions: one-on-one mentor support, coach networking meetings, statewide PLOs (general/concurrent/B/O), etc.
