WHSA 2025 Annual Conference

A coach plays a crucial role in helping classroom staff recognize what they may have been missing or overlooking—often referred to as blind spots. These are areas where a person may be unaware of certain behaviors, patterns, or opportunities that could enhance their professional practice in the classroom. This session will cover ways teachers can benefit from a coaching experience related to fostering the classroom environment, behavior planning and support, social and emotional practices, accountability partnerships, and co-teaching. 
Teaching staff will learn how partnering with coaches can lead to meaningful improvement, increased engagement, and better outcomes for both teachers and students. Kickstart your coaching cycle with two coaches checking your blind spot, and move forward with an action plan ready to implement into your classroom when you return.
