Coaching Institute
The Coaching Institute is a five-day workshop for coaches and their target teachers or site leaders to come together to establish either a coach-teacher relationship or leader-site leaders relationship, improve their own math content, and plan for the school year. The goal is to jump-start the partnerships, build a learning team, and grow in mathematical understanding. Each math coach/leader recruits three teachers/site leaders that they will work with intensively during the school year. The group of four (one coach and three teachers/site leaders) attends the coaching institute as a team. The grade level target of the institute is K-8.  The mathematical focus of the institute will be across the strands and grade levels with a day dedicated to number, geometry, measurement, data analysis and algebraic thinking.
