Transformational Leadership and Academic Coaching Skills for Educators is an experiential training that will empower educators to bring out the unlimited potential (UP) in others to increase learning outcomes for all students.

Educators will learn coaching skills and conversations that can be applied in any content area as a vehicle for change, based on the International Coach Federation Core Coaching Competencies. These coaching skills can be used with students, colleagues, teams or families to increase academic achievement, and social emotional learning, while amplifying the student/family/educator voice. The UP Coaching Approach is strengths based, highly flexible and will give educators a framework, tools, and language for integrating coaching skills and structured coaching conversations into their professional practice. This approach can be used in everyday interactions, as a tiered intervention, coaching for equity, social-emotional learning, literacy, classroom management, as well as in a more structured coaching format such as peer coaching or completing post-observation coaching conversations based on the Standards of Effective Instruction.
