Transformational Coaching Program

Program Overview
The Transformational Coaching Program offers professional development specialists, coaches, mentors and leaders ‘principles to practice’ on how to effectively facilitate change, to broaden and deepen professional practices of educators or administrators, and intentionally support sustainable habits of reflection, problem solving and lifelong learning.

This Program is designed to be implemented over multiple months, ideally a calendar/school year, to provide both breadth and depth of instructional content in a variety of instructional modalities (including onsite instruction, video conference, webinars, conference calls) and to use a diversity of instructional strategies (including lecture, dialogue, video clips, modeling, ‘live’ demonstration, role play, self-reflection, individual and peer coaching, etc.).

The Transformational Coaching Program includes a variety of components such as: interactive instruction, books, training materials, webinars, individual and group coaching. Participants will have the opportunity to implement and practice coaching skills, to learn from the personal experience of being individually coached, as well as implementing habits of self-reflection and assessment strategies. These experiences and components are designed to promote and deepen cycles of learning to sustain new skills, practice positive
effective strategies, and foster expansive critical thinking to promote CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement) at the individual and program level.

Participants will learn the GROOMER Framework for ChangeTM model, a mental model for ‘agents of change’ to use to facilitate the change process. This systematic and intentional model can be used both with an individual and at the program level to facilitate and groom conscious change to promote continuous quality improvement (CQI). It can be used by coaches, consultants, administrators, or community leaders to work with early childhood teachers or administrators. The Framework is a facilitation, empowerment, design
thinking, and inquiry-based approach.

 This Program is structured to ensure participants can transfer principles and strategies learned to practical and successful implementation in the field. Therefore, in addition to formal instruction, the Program offers an ongoing structure for sustainable practices through individual and
group coaching sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to individually and collectively reflect, debrief and discuss the success and challenges of implementing the information and facilitation practices. This transference of principles to practices is practically anchored when participants have the opportunity to identify and build on their strengths, to shift their own limiting attitudes and behaviors, and to increase their self-awareness and meta-cognition to broaden, deepen and master intentional, differentiated and conscious coaching practices.

In addition, this Program can offer strategies to build a Professional Learning Community of coaches (agents of change) to support a peer-based model and team approach for supporting innovation and sustainable change at the district, agency, community, or program level. Coupled with the option of using the Coaching for Success Webinar Series, participants can reinforce and deepen skills and strategies. The Webinar Series also provides an excellent way to onboard new hires or members of the team to learn the coaching practices
and strategies.
