Coaching Skills for Leaders

“The Fremont Union High School District hires and supports teachers, staff and school leaders who believe that all students can achieve at high levels, and who are committed to continuous improvement of their practice to ensure that students do so. We have no illusions about the difficulty and complexity involved in this effort.”

Our Mission: The mission of this course is to help leaders develop essential coaching skills that support the continued growth of educators within FUHSD. Over the course of the sessions outlined below, PD participants will develop a coaching mindset and be equipped with a robust set of tools to engage their colleagues in inquiry that allow us to pursue equity and excellence for all. 

In order to achieve this mission, we have structured the course so that all participants can:

• Practice coaching skills in a safe space with a fellow participant

• Identify when and how to coach from the three different coaching stances

• Develop their toolkit of trust-building strategies

• Inquire into their own coaching practice to meet their growth goals as a coach

• Apply coaching skills with a willing colleague (optional)
