Using the Learning Targets for Coaches Supporting Coaches to Do Their Best Work

The Learning Targets for Coaches O Align with the Danielson Framework for Instructional Specialists, but can be used to support any coaching program O Create a space for coaches to reflect on their work and receive feedback O Can also be used to evaluate the coaching program

Things to Keep in Mind O Each descriptor (1a, 1b, 1c, etc.) is Danielson language O We translated the Danielson descriptors into actionable learning targets that align with Student- Centered Coaching O We view the role of a coach as a partner, whereas the rubric interprets coaching as delivering PD O We designed the learning targets to bridge this gap
