"I love that there was new ideas that I could use after being a coach for 7 years such as the Formal Coaching Cycle. I think this is one of the key pieces that I have been missing. I could even do this camp again and feel like I picked up new information."

Experience a jam-packed interactive training designed specifically for instructional coaches.

Are you...

An instructional coach passionate about impacting teaching & learning

Craving a more systemic approach to coaching

Trying to align your work to broader goals and initiatives within your school or district

Wanting to make your coaching conversations with teachers less threatening and more effective

Contemplating launching coaching cycles

Ready to build professional learning experiences that lead to actual classroom implementation

Searching for a network of like-minded individuals to support you for years to come

You’ve found your place at Coaches Camp!

Instructional coaches support nearly every educator across a school district, yet they are rarely ever provided any professional learning opportunities on how to be a coach. We’ve got the solution you’ve been looking for. This is where coaches go to grow!

Coaches Camp was created specifically to support instructional coaches. Coaches are the drivers of professional growth in their districts. They assist in identifying areas of need, establishing short and long-term goals for teaching and learning, and designing and implementing the professional development needed to crush transformation goals.

They are change agents, instructional leaders, and near superheroes.

"One thing that stood out was how organized everything was. I also love that there was new ideas that I could use after being a coach for 7 years such as the Formal Coaching Cycle. I think this is one of the key pieces that I have been missing. I could even do this camp again and feel like I pick up new information."

Summer 2022 Participant

"Now that I'm heading into my third year as a coach, I find the sessions (core and breakout) even more helpful. I LOVED the fact that you had a fully virtual option!!"

Summer 2022 Participant

"I loved the "Creating Space for Teachers" session. I got so many ideas for how I can reach my teachers outside of in person PD."

Summer 2022 Participant

"Building Relationships for Sustainable Change and Graphic Design for Coaches were my favorite sessions. I really liked how friendly and professional EVERY session leader was."

Summer 2022 Participant

"I liked all of the core sessions and break outs that I attended by the one that got me charged up was the Graphic Design for Coaches. I don't think I have ever had 3 days of PD pass so quickly."
