Question of the Week

Our favorite part of recording a live podcast each week is participating in the great conversations that happen on our live chat, on social media, and in our comments section.

This week’s question is:

Question Topic: What is the best way to create yearly SMART Goals as an Instructional Coach?

Setting Goals as an Instructional Coach

  • What is a SMART Goal?
  • Should coaches have professional growth goals just like teachers?
  • How to align coaching goals with the district/school goals/vision
  • Thoughts on Creating Coaching SMART Goals
    • Goals should provide clarity
    • Goals should provide motivation
    • Goals should provide an objective standard for improvement
  • If you are given a goal by someone else rather than creating it yourself, it may not resonate as strongly.
  • When working with a group of coaches, how should your goals be setup?
    • All coaches have the same goals
    • All coaches have similar goals
    • All coaches have individual goals
