Principal Coaching - Individual

Principal Coaching – Individual

Meeting dates are dependent on individuals (in-person and virtual meetings available)

Twelve (12) 1-hour individual coaching sessions – (virtually or in-person) at school site September 2023 to May 2024

Coaching can provide a critical pillar of support for Principals and Assistant Principals as they navigate the complex world of school leadership. Sessions will focus on four key areas: Fostering a Healthy Culture & Climate, Empowering Your People, Optimizing Your Systems, and Equity Focused Leadership. We will analyze strengths and opportunities for improvement in these areas using data and a strategic focus. We will establish a Plan, Do, Study, Action plan to implement school improvement strategies and monitor progress toward your strategic goals.

Target Audience: K-12 Principals and Assistant Principals who would like to take their leadership from Good to Great!

Testamonial from Jennifer, Metro Areas Principal

As a first-year principal, I am incredibly grateful to have Chris's coaching support. Not only does Chris openly share her depth of knowledge and numerous resources, she is also skilled in helping me take a step back from the fast-paced nature of the work each week to keep in perspective improving school culture, empowering staff, and strengthening systems. Chris's coaching support has helped me stay committed to interrupting a system that produces inequitable and predictable outcomes based on family of origin, racial background, and socioeconomic status. If you are a leader committed to student success and reimagining public schooling from a human-centered approach, I highly recommend Chris as a coach and thought partner. The work is not for the faint of heart, and it is not meant to be done alone.
