About course

Summary:

Welcome to the Introduction to the Coaching to Win: Giving Your Best for Your Teachers! In this course, we will be discussing the crucial role that instructional leaders play as coaches to teachers and staff members. How, then, can we provide support for those in our charge?

Audience: Instructional Leaders and Educational Administrators

Course Objectives:

  • Discuss preparations for change
  • Outline effective professional development practices
  • Introduce teacher-centered statistics, support, and observation techniques
  • Reflect on personal leadership growth

The course format is asynchronous in nature, meaning you complete the course at your own pace. A new module unlocks each week for 5 weeks,but only after you have completed the previous module. You’ll be able to look back at previous modules any time you’d like, and of course you can pause and re-watch any portions of the videos as needed. The video must be watched in its entirety for the quiz to unlock.  

All materials referenced in this course are in the Course Materials folder.

Each week, you’ll view the module video, read/listen to some of the book, and then complete a module quiz and journal entry.

Note that you also can’t move on until at least an 80% is achieved on the quiz, and note that your extended response will be reviewed by the facilitator. You may review facilitator comments by clicking on past module assignments. A facilitator dashboard keeps us updated on your progress, and if you’re taking the course as part of your agency’s professional development requirements, your agency will be informed of your status on a regular basis.

Note that the system will log out after a brief period of inactivity. Ensure that you are still logged in before completing any quizzes or submitting files to avoid being bounced back to the log-in screen.

If you encounter an issue at any point, navigate to the Technical Support tab on the right-hand side of the screen within the course.

FAQs

What makes SCR Academy courses unique?

Great question! Susan Roberts of SCR Consulting has trained thousands of adult educators across the country through engaging in-person workshops and seminars on a variety of adult education practices. Using her knowledge of what works and what doesn’t, she utilizes research-based, practical approaches to introducing the same content effectively in an online environment. Rather than simply reading text on a screen, SCR Academy courses utilize module videos with Susan as your guide as you journey through the content. Project-based learning activities bring the concepts into the classroom with guidance from SCR Academy facilitators along the way.

When will I have access to the content of this course?

Upon payment—either by your agency’s provided enrollment key or through credit card—you will be enrolled in the course. You’ll start by taking the pre-assessment—an informal quiz to test your knowledge about the course content. Then, the first module will unlock for you to begin work.

What is the course completion deadline?

A new module will unlock each week, but only if you have completed the module before it. While the courses are self-paced, your agency and SCR Academy may have parameters in place for a completion timeline. Long periods of inactivity may result in your deactivation from the course.
