Description
In early childhood education, effective coaching can be the catalyst for growth and meaningful change. From Coaching to Connection is a one-hour training designed to help early childhood educators and leaders understand and apply practice-based coaching models that foster strong, supportive relationships and create lasting improvements in teaching practices. This training will guide participants through the process of using coaching as a tool to build connections, empower educators, and improve outcomes for children. Participants will explore how practice-based coaching (PBC) differs from traditional models, with a focus on its collaborative, real-time, and reflective approach. Through practical strategies and engaging examples, educators will learn how to implement PBC to support adult learning, create a culture of continuous improvement, and strengthen their team dynamics. Whether you're a coach or a teacher, this session will equip you with the tools to create impactful, results-driven coaching relationships that elevate both educator practice and child development.
