The session focuses on a transformative approach to building community with students at the beginning of the year. The information presented will not be something that is the norm in most schools.

Participants will understand the rationale for using the instructional coaching model to support improved pedagogy and how the coaching model can be adapted to fit the unique needs of the school and/or specific groups of teachers.
