Become a Certified Instructional Coach with TDN
Join TDN founder, Emily Davis, for a year-long instructional online course through the Penn Graduate School of Education. The Instructional Coaching certificate program is designed to help those responsible for mentoring or coaching adults in an education setting deliberately develop and hone the mindsets, skills, and tools that coaches use to guide the learning of others. The program is structured around five core components of effective adult coaching: vision, relational trust, listening, language, and protocols. Over the course of four asynchronous modules, participants will have access to engaging and varied online resources, tools, and real-world practice activities that introduce, guide, and deepen work around the core coaching components.
Participants will meet synchronously throughout the academic year with a coaching expert to build community with other coaches and collaboratively practice coaching skills. The program concludes with a self-directed supervised inquiry project through which participants showcase their ability to use the knowledge and skills gained through this course in their own context.
The course runs September-May.
Registration closes September 5, 2021
