Visible Learning+ Impact Coaching
Build School & System Capability
Ensure that growth and effective changes are embedded in your school for long-term sustainability by training key Visible Learning champions from your school to become what we call Impact Coaches. These coaches ensure rigorous and ongoing evaluation after consultants have left as they support leaders and teachers as they collect and analyze evidence and implement Visible Learning practices.
When Do I Take Impact Coaching?
During the School Impact Process, Impact Coaches receive one-on-one coaching and personalized observation from Visible Learning+ consultants in addition to taking the three sessions below.
Professional Learning Sessions
Impact Coach Day 1
Impact Coaches will begin by building a strong foundation of knowledge and understanding of John Hattie’s research and the principles of Visible Learning and teaching. They will then learn to work collaboratively with school and system leaders in order to establish and implement plans to collect, collate, and analyze evidence to inform the school’s Visible Learning action plan.
Impact Coach Day 2
During their second Impact Coach seminar, Impact Coaches will establish Visible Learning action plans focused on building the internal capacity of the schools to improve student achievement. They will learn to provide professional learning, advice, and support to leaders and teachers and guide the implementation of Visible Learning plans, including regular monitoring, reviewing, and reporting on impact to identify key areas of need.
Impact Coach Day 3
In their last Impact Coach seminar, Impact Coaches will review the results of evaluation and monitoring with the Visible Learning team and work collaboratively with leadership to ensure that Visible Learning practices are in place. They will learn to provide ongoing feedback and professional development to school staff, train leaders in the use of the tool, and support change moving forward by establishing a cycle of evidence-gathering.
