ExploreInstructional Coaching Training for Schools
The most powerful way to improve teaching isn’t a one-off INSET day; it’s ongoing, precise coaching. Instructional coaching, with its focus on small, specific, well-practised steps, has one of the strongest evidence bases for improving teaching. This training helps your school set up and run instructional coaching that changes practice.
Below, we explain what our instructional coaching training involves, and how it helps you build a culture of continuous improvement.
What Is Instructional Coaching Training for Schools?
It’s practical training that helps schools introduce and run instructional coaching. We cover the coaching model, spotting the highest-leverage next step, giving precise feedback, effective practice, and how to build coaching into your school’s routines so it sticks and improves teaching over time.
We ground it in the evidence on instructional and incremental coaching and tailor it to your context, whether you’re starting from scratch or strengthening existing coaching.
Who Is This Training For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. It suits leaders setting up coaching, those who’ll act as coaches, and CPD leads. Trusts often run it across schools to build a shared coaching culture.
Many schools ask for it to introduce instructional coaching, train their coaches, or move from one-off CPD to sustained improvement.
