  In Roundtable Session: Coaching for Change (Table 36)

Abstract

The XXXX grant at the University of XXXX was developed to provide intensive and sustained professional development (PD) opportunities over three years. The PD program is structured to provide both group and individual experiences with summer bootcamps, professional development follow-up sessions, and facilitative coaching sessions. The XXXX program noticed a relationship between the impacts teachers reported in the classroom and the PD topics addressed in bootcamp and follow-up sessions. With additional documentation, the program saw that coaching sessions were focused on the same grant goals teacher impacts were present. This paper describes the relationship between coach attributes and the implementation of the program and its effect on teachers at the classroom level.
