    Adding on the option of virtual coaching will give each participant access to three virtual coaching sessions with a Certified IM Facilitator. The virtual coaching sessions will be focused on the instructional routines that are embedded in the IM curriculum, and will contain the following phases:


    Phase 1: Coach holds a 30-minute virtual conference with the participant to discuss an instructional focus.


    Phase 2: Participant records a focused “snapshot” lesson segment and uploads video to the private, secure virtual coaching platform.


    Phase 3: Participant views video and reflects, while coach views and provides personalized feedback.

    In-district coaching or support is also available. Please contact Lindsey Ramos at liramos@crec.org for further information. For assistance with registration, contact Deborah Van Wyngaarden at dvanwyngaarden@crec.org or 860-509-3687.
