COACHING

Experienced principals and administrators face new challenges, both from external leadership as well as from their own desire to improve their leadership impact and the performance of the school. Reflective coaching, collaborative discussions and planning are essential in supporting their continued development.

As part of the comprehensive leadership development offered by the Illinois Principals Association, highly trained and experienced coaches are available to IPA professional development program participants and districts.

Coaching Services Include

In supporting and facilitating the refinement of leadership impact for experienced administrators, the coach will provide reflective and collaborative coaching that raise the level of insight and strategic decision making and planning in order to stretch and achieve desired goals and performance. Coaching will be tailored to meet the specific needs of each administrator, from supporting ongoing growth and improvement, to developing new skills and abilities to meet a new leadership role or initiative, to moving from high achieving to distinguished performance.

The Coach Will:

  • Meet with the experienced administrator in his/her school or office and tour the facility to get an overview of building, operations, staff, students, parents, community, and school culture and environment
  • Provide a minimum of three onsite coaching sessions, one of which will be with the IPA Coach and the IPA Field Services Coordinator

  • Coach and assist in expanding experiences in districtwide or statewide leadership
  • Provide the selected number of hours coaching through face-to-face meetings, webinars, phone meetings, and attendance at meetings or professional development activities with the administrator.
