Session description

The Interactive Learning Coaches Network is a one-year program where participants explored research-based best practices in coaching and interactive learning. Guided by the ISTE Coaches Standards and cognitive coaching, the #ILCN will share successes and challenges. Explore the Venn Diagram of content area coaching and instructional technology coaching.

Purpose & objective

Participants will explore the resources created for the 1 year program for coaches in Macomb county (metro-Detroit).

The post-pandemic shift in education has brought a new position into the limelight - that of instructional coach. But what defines an instructional coach? What makes a good coach? And what is the role of educational technology?

Many coaches struggle with these questions, whyich can be further complicated by being thrown into the position with littler or no training on effective coaching practices.

Add to this the problem of an identity crisis. As content area coaches, there is an emphasis on the subject area standards. Whereas instructional technology coaches focus on applying digital age teaching and learning tools. Is there a happy medium?

Here, we explore a program where interactive learning is part of the coaching landscape and the research based coaching pedagogy frames the collaboration.
