MTDS Instructional Coach Collaborative is an advanced professional learning experience designed for graduates of the Instructional Coach Academy. This yearlong program brings experienced instructional coaches together in a dynamic community of practice to deepen their coaching expertise, expand their leadership influence, & collaboratively address the instructional challenges facing their schools & districts.

The Collaborative builds on foundational coaching knowledge & shifts the focus toward leading instructional improvement through data-informed decision-making, reflective dialogue, & instructional design. Coaches will work alongside peers to refine strategies for gathering & analyzing evidence of student learning, monitoring progress toward curricular goals, & revising instruction in real time to meet the needs of all learners.

Throughout the program, participants will engage in leadership labs, case study consultations, & collaborative problem-solving sessions that center on supporting teachers in designing engaging, rigorous learning experiences. Emphasis will be placed on using multiple sources of student data to inform instructional decisions, curating research-based strategies aligned to diverse learning goals, & coaching teachers in real-time adjustments that enhance student thinking, engagement, & growth.

Distinctive to this program is its focus on building collaborative leadership capacity. Participants will serve as thought partners & critical friends to one another, while developing systems & structures to support continuous instructional improvement in their schools & districts.

Districts are encouraged to pair this program with Teacher Academy to foster aligned, sustainable instructional leadership across all levels of the system.
