Instructional Coaching Services

At BSCS, we leverage decades of research on effective science teaching and learning approaches to create high quality professional learning experiences for educators. 

Instructional coaching is a key and proven component of our professional learning services. And we now offer instructional coaching services that can be embedded into any district’s or school’s existing professional learning system.

Why Seek Instructional Coaching?

Science educators have so much to consider on a daily basis as they plan for, lead, and reflect on student learning. We can sometimes get into the habit of just-in-time planning. Coaching helps teachers and other educators focus on key features of effective science teaching and learning.

What are the three dimensional learning goals for this lesson? How does this upcoming lesson fit within the larger arc of student learning? How will I create a space that invites and attends to different student ideas? What ideas might I see/hear? How might I respond? How will I know if my approach is effective?

At the end of the day, science educators just want to know they’re making a difference!

BSCS knows the path to effective science teaching and learning is paved with intentional decisions. And our coaches are prepared to support science educators along the way. 

We work with incredible educators who are already making the best decisions they can with the information they have available. Through instructional coaching, science educators develop a deeper understanding of their instructional materials, teaching strategies, and connection to their students and classroom context. 

And as they explore the relationship between their materials, strategies, and classroom context, they become intentional decision makers. Ultimately, they become more confident and effective educators.
