Pre-Requisite Knowledge/Course Completion Requirements
This is not a passive professional development program and participants should be active learners. Participants must be willing to practice coaching themselves, be coached by others in the program, and be observed while coaching. Reflection and constructive feedback will be required of all participants.
The course is scheduled over twelve (12) weeks. During this time, you will meet twice a month synchronously for a total of six (6) 90-minute sessions. Participants will also need to meet in triad coaching groups, read texts and watch videos, post to online discussions, and explore additional resources.
To achieve a completion certificate, you must complete pre, mid and post course surveys, participate in four (4) synchronous sessions and watch recordings for any missed session, participate in three (3) out of the four (4) triad meetings, participate in all online discussions, and submit an end of course summary reflection. For completion with distinction, you can submit a 30 minute recorded coaching session for feedback from instructors. You can expect to spend 3-4 hours/week in the course activities.
