Session description

Getting teachers to engage in coaching can feel like swimming upstream. This poster showcases a journey of persistence and flexibility, detailing various strategies to connect with educators. Explore our pivots and takeaways to discover actionable ideas that will help you find the right current for your coaching program.

Outline

I plan to present the information in the poster as a timeline of what we did as well as highlight why we made different adjustments. I will have visual examples of a variety of choice boards as well as teacher engagement programs to share. Participants will be able to scan QR codes for digital access to resources so they can adapt or modify them for their own needs. Because poster sessions encourage conversation between the presenter and participants, I plan to briefly highlight a few key items I have to share, but I will be reactive to people’s questions. My presentation can be adjusted based on the number of people who are present or passing by the poster table. I also plan to make a document for “next steps” where participants can take note of any ideas they heard that they may want to learn more about or come back to their buildings and try.
