A message from the Centre for Academic Excellence (CAE):
The Centre for Teaching & Learning Innovation at College of the North Atlantic and Niagara College’s Centre for Academic Excellence invite you to participate in “Coachlike Classrooms,” a program that provides educators with an opportunity to experience coaching as a ‘coachee’ and to learn how to apply coaching approaches in teaching.
At the end of the program, participants will walk away with:
- Enhanced awareness of coaching philosophy, related research, and specific coaching approaches;
- Increased awareness about the degree to which they currently apply coach-like practices in their interactions with learners;
- Tools and strategies to expand and deepen their coach-approach with learners;
- A new community with whom they can share ideas and experiences about the impact of coach-approaches;
- A certificate of completion for their professional portfolio.
The program consists of four, two-hour workshops, and three, one-on-one voluntary coaching sessions, with some pre-work in between sessions. The workshops are held virtually on Zoom with content managed in a Google classroom.
The dates for the workshops are:
Monday, March 21
Monday, March 28
Monday, April 4
Monday, April 11
All sessions will take place from 1:30pm – 3:30pm (EST) / 3:00pm – 5:00pm (NST).
Space is limited and available to educators from each college who are prepared to commit to the proposed schedule, above. Registration will close when the number of anticipated registrations has been reached.
To learn more about the program and to register, please visit the CAE Educational Development Announcements page.
