“Creating safe spaces for teachers to explore, take risks, and be supported in their journey, along with a deep respect for the work that teachers and students are doing, develops a sense of collective efficacy and belonging.”

We value partnerships!
We can’t do this complex work alone. We believe achieving these outcomes requires collective action and a systems approach. That’s why we’re inviting you to partner with us to establish a global network invested in advancing the practice of instructional coaching in international schools.
We recognize that a new organization might raise questions about trust and longevity. However, while we may be new, our team is formed by experienced coaches, school leaders, and an advisory board with a proven track record of being the leading thinkers around instructional coaching. We haven’t just jumped in; we spent a year meticulously planning a sustainable and intentional approach, ensuring longevity and a long-term vision. Formalizing the organization this past year wasn’t just a formality. It was a collective effort driven by our desire to empower and connect instructional coaches and leaders in international schools worldwide.
