Our Coaching ImpactMichelle Tatrow
SWFT Implementation & Improvement Consultant In our February newsletter, Dr. Kate Murray shared, “Regardless of our profession, we can always improve, and coaching is a powerful catalyst for that growth.” This belief guided our work with the Statewide Field Team (SWFT), as we supported Early Warning Intervention & Monitoring System (EWIMS) Trainers and Coaches through a combination of professional learning sessions and ongoing coaching. These efforts helped build their capacity to lead schools in implementing the EWIMS 7-Step Process. Our 60-minute group sessions focused on targeted implementation competencies and included “Problem of Practice” (PoP) discussions to bridge theory and application. In addition, monthly one-on-one coaching between EWIMS Coaches and SWFT Consultants provided a space to deepen learning, address site-specific priorities, and foster continuous reflection between sessions. The monthly individual and group coaching sessions resulted in a significant increase in confidence to apply the learning and the effectiveness of the coaching and collaboration, as shown in the results and responses below.
