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
