CoachFest 2026

Participants will engage in an interactive experience centered around one AI-supported coaching tool. They will analyze a short classroom video, use guided prompts within the tool to generate insights, and collaborate in small groups to discuss patterns and next steps. Coaches will also practice crafting feedback and reflect on how to apply this process within their own coaching cycles. Participants will leave having actively used the tool and with strategies ready to implement immediately.

Schools often have a clear vision for instruction, yet classrooms still vary widely. This session explores gaps in clarity and alignment across leadership teams and what happens when expectations are interpreted differently. Participants will learn how to build aligned coaching systems and explore practical strategies, including video and AI tools, to make expectations visible. Attendees will leave with tools and a clear next step to strengthen instructional consistency.
