What is the Coach Intensive?
The Coach Intensive is an 8-hour, small-group coaching experience designed to help instructional coaches and teacher leaders who are looking for support and answers to questions about the work you do.

To achieve this, the Coach Intensive weaves each of the following concepts throughout all meetings.

Here Are The Details
The FOURTH cohort of the Coach Intensive is on Tuesday evenings, beginning August 8, 2023. We meet every Tuesday evening at 7 pm ET via Zoom.
During each meeting, you will engage in discussion around a coaching topic, activities based on the topic and talking through how it might look for you in your specific situation. You will not sit through slide after slide of information instead, you will engage in authentic, problem-solving conversations and get a chance to pick Melanie's brain about everything coaching.
Like coaching conversations, what we discuss here, stays here. Confidentiality will be honored during our time together which is why everyone must sign a confidential agreement. Because of the nature of this Intensive, meetings will NOT be recorded.
