C&I 630: Practicum in Coaching |
Course Overview & Syllabus
Designed for practicing and aspiring instructional coaches, this is the final course of the Instructional Coaching Certificate program. As a culmination to the program, students develop a coaching action plan that they implement and document within a coaching portfolio. Coaching labs are also utilized to guide inquiry into professional growth. Finally, students organize a virtual Collaborative Coaching Conversation as part of their special interest group project. These courses can be taken for professional development credits, University credits, or as part of an approved Master's degree program.
Course highlights
Collaborative Coaching Conversations
Working in Special Interest Groups, teams of students design and facilitate these virtual discussions to engage the broader coaching community around issues of interest and import. This series just launched during the Fall 2018 semester, and we are hoping to build from this momentum to implement a monthly series moving forward. Visit our website to learn more and to view the recorded conversations.

Coaching Portfolio
Students begin the course by developing a Coaching Action Plan to implement at their sites throughout the semester. Two components include a required student-centered coaching cycle and a second coaching activity related to their professional goals. The highlight of this portfolio takes place during the middle segment of the course, when participants have the opportunity to participate in online coaching labs. Sharing recordings from their face-to-face coaching activities, students receive targeted feedback to help grow their practices--and observation skills.
