As instructional coaches, our ultimate goal is to guide teachers through the coaching cycle. On this episode, we look at the levels of support that coaches can provide and how to use those options to build a coaching menu.

Providing different levels of support can help you get your foot in the door with teachers by ensuring there are multiple access points. The more coaching choices you provide, the easier it will be for someone to find the support they are looking for.
