TIMTSPF-150: Coaching and Mentoring with the TIM-C (Self-Paced, Facilitated)
Self-Paced, Facilitated; 2022
Coaching and mentoring are among the most powerful tools in any professional development program. While there are many excellent models for implementing a guided, reflective practice program, all of these programs share some basic elements. The TIM Coaching Tool, or TIM-C, is an online tool for developing, tracking, and recording outcomes from coaching cycles. Coaching is structured communication between two professionals with the general aim of improving professional practice for at least one of them. TIM-C provides an easy way to guide colleagues through a coaching cycle and document coaching work across a school or district.
This course provides instruction on how educators can use TIM-C to support their coaching or mentoring work. Specifically, this course will provide an introduction to the TIM-C and coaching cycles, goal setting, planning and monitoring coaching activities, recording outcomes, and reflecting on the process.
All Facilitated Courses
Any of the following facilitated courses can be scheduled for your group of 5 or more participants. We have found that most school and districts prefer to send groups of teachers and administrators on their own schedule rather than our previous practice of beginning all courses on the first of each month. The course content is still equivalent to 20 contact hours, but when all participants are from the same school or district, we can be more flexible with scheduling and can make adjustments in content to better meet your specific needs. To arrange for a group course, please email us at TIM@fcit.us.
