Virtual Coaching with Kathy Perret has helped me increase my focus and skills as an instructional coach. I was a new coach when I first started Virtual Coaching sessions, just beginning my second year. I was still uncertain of my role and my ability to connect with teachers and administration. Virtual Coaching has helped me discover my strengths, and to grow professionally. I have many resources for coaching cycles as well as organizational tools. Kathy helped me set small short-term goals for my coaching work. Every few weeks we would converse as I reflected on my progress and areas that I needed to address. I am much more confident now as an instructional coach and much more productive. I have gained knowledge in order to work with our administrators, fellow coaches and staff to meet the needs of our students.
