Microcameras such as iPhones, iPods, iPads, and Android phones and tablets may represent the single most significant change in the way professional development is conducted in schools in our generation.

No real improvement can take place in schools unless the quality of conversations improves. But too often attempts at changing the way people communicate leads to superficial discussion of platitudes at best. This presentation will introduce the beliefs and habits that can lead to better conversations, and a coaching model that can be used by anyone to help turn the ideas and habits into practice. This presentation will also share comments from comments participants in a global study of self-coaching communication skills and beliefs. - Creating an Impact School - Jim Knight

This all-day workshop describes high-leverage activities educational leaders can employ to design professional learning that has an unmistakable impact on teaching. The content of the session draws from ideas described in Jim Knight’s Unmistakable Impact and is based on more than 18 years of research on professional learning conducted at the Kansas Coaching Project at the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning. This session will describe how schools and districts can focus their professional learning on easy-to-understand professional learning targets; how workshops, professional learning communities, and other forms of professional learning can support implementation of school improvement targets; and what principals, coaches, and central office staff need to do to accelerate professional learning. The session addressed the following questions: - Creating and Instructional Playbook for SIM - Knight

The SIM learning strategies, routines, and other high-impact strategies are designed to improve student achievement and well-being. But if professional developers and coaches want to effectively support teachers so that SIM is implemented effectively, they need to have a deep understanding of the practices they share with teachers. For this reason, we recommend professional developers create instructional playbooks that include one-page summaries and checklists for the practices they share. In this session, participants will learn about the elements of instructional playbooks and then create many of the parts of their own playbook. The act of creating an instructional playbook enables professional developers to have the knowledge they need to be effective; this workshop ensures that coaches know how to create such a playbook. - Instructional Coaching: The BIG FOUR: A Framework - Knight, Piazza, Woodruff

RAISEupTexas is a whole-school transformation model utilizing leadership development and support, a foundational instructional model and systems for supporting both students and teachers. We are leveraging the synergy of these efforts to make a difference in the lives of middle level students throughout Central Texas. This session will focus on the critical role of Instructional Coaching in this transformation. Serving as change agents for the students served by their campus, the work of an instructional coach requires a consistent balance of passion for student learning and outcomes, advocacy for best instructional practices and sensibilities as co-leaders of a learning community. Participants will hear from Project Managers and Instructional Coaches from Central Texas schools in the RAISEupTexas project.

2019 SIMposium
Instructional coaching is a practice with the potential to bridge the gap between theory and practice and ensure all students gain access to high-quality instruction. However, in geographically and otherwise isolated areas, instructional coaching often seems out of reach and impossible to implement. Dr. Myers and Dr. Rowland have been studying a virtual instructional coaching model that could provide all teachers the opportunity to engage in job-embedded, ongoing, sustained, context-considerate, personalized professional learning focused on student learning needs. During this session, participants will learn about the virtual coaching model being implemented, view preliminary data, engage with coaching session transcripts, and discuss with other participants what professional learning barriers still need to be addressed.
