Level 100
Intended for those who are new to instructional coaching in a TfT school and begins with an exploration of instructional coaching. Participants will unpack the needs of adult learners, the structure of a coaching conversation, and how to lead an ongoing coaching cycle.
Level 200
Builds on the concepts of Level 100, as participants explore the art of questioning and examine their own stories to identify strengths, challenges, and biases that could influence their coaching. For those who have previously attended level 100.
Level 300
Invites participants to share their current successes and challenges in coaching, explore practices that deepen the efficiency and effectiveness of their coaching practice, and investigate how to leverage data for instructional coaching. For those who have previously attended levels 100 and 200.
Level 400
Leading Through Conflict with Courage and Hope is designed for Heads of School, Principals, and Instructional/Curriculum Leads and invites participants to examine how conflict shapes the culture of their schools. In times of division and disagreement, leaders play a critical role in determining whether conflict leads to fragmentation or growth. This experience will equip participants to engage conflict in Christ-centered, constructive ways that strengthen relationships and deepen community. Drawing on the work of The Colossian Forum and its WayFinder program, participants will explore how personal formation and institutional culture interact in shaping a school's response to conflict. Through a systems-informed lens, participants will examine their own patterns of reactivity, develop a more non-anxious presence, and learn to remain both connected and clearly defined when navigating tension. The experience will focus on helping leaders identify key leverage points for change within themselves and their schools.
There is no requirement for Level 400 participants to attend Level 100 – 300 training, and the aim is to provide a space for Heads of Schools to join their Instructional Coaches at the annual Intensive. This will provide an opportunity of deep collaborative leadership for TfT schools.
