Sharon Callen presents this extensive 24 chapter course 'Coaching Models for Shifts in Teaching' (9 hrs and 12 mins) for school coaches and leaders. It was produced in collaboration with Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools.
Through introducing many 'coach bites' (Chapters) she brings participants specific resources, tools, strategies, tips and techniques, enabling them to explore, learn how to use, and reflect on this knowledge. She asks throughout, 'how do we grow and learn as coaches, to make real shifts in a teacher's development?'
The course has been designed for coaches to think about the types of models that can be used in coaching, but also the people that we're working with - enabling and encouraging and mentoring them in their role. It's an insider's guide to working as a coach, a critically important role, bringing energy, knowledge and expertise to the role, and therefore enabling real job embedded professional learning and growth.
The chapters comprise of a series of videos, Power points and PDF resources produced by Sharon plus interviews with a current literacy leader she works with in a school in South Australia.

- Welcome, Introduction and Overview of Tools and Processes, Ch 1-6

- Professional Learning Teams, Ch 13-15
