The Instructional Coach Course: A Marathon of Learning (But Without the Sweat)

I have just past the halfway point on the Instructional Coach Course with Jim Knight and Brian Sepe. I am learning a truckload of strategies and techniques I did not know existed. My current plan is to create some checklists and infographics to accompany them.

In the last online session, we learned a bunch of strategies to create a strong learning-centric culture. A lot of the work is influenced by Edgar Schein, the OG of culture in organisations – see Schein’s Iceberg.

I was able to summarise and remix some of the Learner Friendly Culture strategies into an infographic and 5 little playing cards that coaches may be able to carry around and pass out. You can download PDFs here (infographic/cards) or on TPT for free.

Keep up the good work, coaches, and remember – with great culture comes a great iceberg, so don’t let yourself get frozen in the depths of culture theory!

Enjoy
