Are you ready to take your coaching skill to a whole new level? Metamorphosis^TLC brings an unprecedented breadth of knowledge and experience to educational coaching.

• We understand that coaching is an emerging and amorphous role in education that varies widely from place to place. We can show you how to unleash the enormous potential of coaching to transform professional culture and improve teaching and learning.
• We understand that you may have come into coaching from a teaching or supervisory position without much training or support. We can provide the skill set and professional community you need to succeed.
• We understand that your responsibilities may read like a catchall position for every unmet need in the school. We can show you how to hone your responsibilities and where to focus your energies for lasting results.
• We know that your schedule may be dictated by administrators who want you to work with everybody or worse with only those who are struggling. We can assist you to negotiate a more strategic schedule designed to build school-wide capacity.
• We know if you are coaching for two or more years you may not be seeing any long-term, sustainable, measurable results. We can help you understand and capitalize on the change process to build sustainable, self-generating improvements in teaching and learning.

Our Master Coaches empower coaches and teacher leaders to positively influence their colleagues and partner with their administrators in powerful and productive ways. Participation in our Lesson Studies for Coaches results in deep understanding of the work of a coach and the skill set to make effective teaching a reality in every classroom.

• Develop a shared, specific vision of effective instruction as evidenced by student learning and the ability to foster it in every classroom.
• Engage in scholarly, in-depth, dialogue focused on content, instruction and evidence of learning.
