Coaching is not about teaching. It is about creating an environment where people learn for themselves by connecting with their natural curiosity.
We have observed and witnessed that teams open to ongoing coaching as a practice of professional development and self-improvement see greater results in their work with youth, as well as building confidence in their own facilitation and teaching practice.
A growing body of research indicates that coaching can help create the conditions necessary for instructional practices to change and student outcomes to improve (Annenberg Foundation for Education Reform, 2004).

Important Facts About Coaching
Research from the Annenberg report also suggests that effective and ongoing professional learning promotes positive cultural change. The conditions, behaviors, and practices can shift when a strong and ongoing coaching program is implemented with commitment, trust, and collaboration.
