Transformative Leadership
The Scholastic Leadership Cohort The Scholastic Leadership Cohort is a collaborative online learning experience for school and district leaders. The learning will focus on instructional leadership practices proven to improve student achievement. Participants will engage in video-enhanced coaching as a tool to observe evidence of student learning and provide opportunities for reflection and feedback. The book The Coaching Partnership: Collaboration for Systemic Change will center the learning pathway on four key concepts: • Implementing High-Leverage Instructional Practices • Creating a Culture of Learning Partners (coaching and mentoring that improves the learning environment, content knowledge, curriculum, pedagogy, and student engagement) • Leveraging Learning Processes (generative thinking, trust-building, and communication) • Sustaining Learning Breakthroughs (managing long-term systemic change) This experience kicks off with a two-hour interactive session to review the syllabus, explore the online coaching tools, and lay a solid foundation for success. Following the kickoff, the cohort will meet every other month for a total of four learning cycles. Participants will engage in independent learning, reflection, and practice between sessions. Schools and districts have the opportunity to tailor this cohort to include instructional frameworks created by Danielson, Marzano, and other leading education experts. Learning outcomes: • Understand the role of video in enhancing teacher reflection, coaching, and instructional leadership and utilize video-enhanced and other blended strategies to refine the coaching practice • Utilize a framework to lead coaching conversations that improve the learning environment by facilitating generative thinking, trust, communication, and long- term systemic change • Develop a plan for creating a sustained coaching partnership culture
