You aspire to be a game-changing instructional coach and to make an IMPACT on instruction.
Yet, you find yourself without proper professional development, essential resources, or a clear roadmap for your role.
The daily realities of your job have turned into a never-ending cycle of extinguishing crises, substituting in classrooms, and grappling with behavioral challenges.
And now, self-doubt creeps in. Is this truly the path for me?
You're left wondering: Can I genuinely make a significant impact on student instruction?
After pouring over countless Google search results for "Instructional Coaching" and investing time and money into numerous books, you find yourself overwhelmed and trying to piece together a fragmented puzzle.
Instructional coaching suddenly seems more complicated than you initially perceived, leaving you puzzled about where to begin.
But this is where the story changes.
This is where your impactful journey as an instructional coach truly begins.
See... my journey to coaching wasn't much different...
I found myself thrown into the role of a Differentiated Accountability Coach—a title that seemed as confusing to others as it did to me. My primary aspiration was to help teachers but without a clear roadmap, my first year of coaching felt like an uphill battle.
I found myself relentlessly turning to Google, investing in books that only served to complicate matters further, and experimenting with various strategies to forge strong relationships with teachers. It was a time of trial and error, a continuous struggle to find my footing in the vast realm of instructional coaching.
There were moments of frustration, as it all seemed overwhelmingly complex. I was like a puzzled participant in a high-stakes game, sitting before a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle, trying to figure out how to complete coaching cycles, build relationships, host feedback meetings, conduct data dives, and execute content planning sessions.
Sticky notes became my constant companions, reminders of the many tasks at hand and the demanding role I had undertaken. Despite my tireless efforts, I felt stuck, as if I was failing to make significant strides for both the teachers and students. The sense of accomplishment eluded me, leaving me feeling unfulfilled.
Then, in the midst of all the chaos, a moment of clarity dawned on me. I realized that I wasn't lacking in effort or dedication. What I needed was not more complex theories or convoluted methodologies. What I needed was simplicity. Simplicity combined with a strong foundation.
And thus, the S.I.M.P.L.E. Blueprint for Instructional Coaching was born.
An approach born out of personal struggle and the realization that effectiveness often lies in simplicity.
Whether you're just starting your journey as an instructional coach or you're a seasoned veteran, the S.I.M.P.L.E. Blueprint is your compass. It will guide you on the path to becoming an impactful, successful instructional coach.
What is the S.I.M.P.L.E. Blueprint?
