The Coaching Challenge: Back to School Edition
9 challenges to kick off your coaching year with clarity and confidence.
Nobody handed me a roadmap when I became a literacy coach. I had a title, an office, and absolutely no idea what to do with my first week. I spent more time reorganizing my desk than actually coaching, because I didn't know where to start.
This challenge is the thing I wish someone had handed me on day one!
The Coaching Challenge: Back to School Edition is a complete, printable guide with 9 challenges designed to help literacy and instructional coaches show up prepared, build relationships early, and walk into the first week of school feeling like they actually belong there.
Each challenge includes 👇
✔️ Why it matters: the real reason this move changes your year
✔️ How to do it: simple, clear steps you can take immediately
✔️ A coach tip/example: from someone who learned this the hard way
✔️ Resources and next steps: so you always know what to do next
Plus a master checklist at the end so you can track your progress and check things off as you go.
This is for you if:
You're brand new to coaching and have no idea where to start
You're returning for another year and want to start stronger than last year
You've been figuring it out alone, and you're ready for a roadmap
You want to show up for teachers before they ever have to ask
⭐ This challenge is also included in the Literacy Coaching Hub, a growing library of coaching tools, PD resources, and everything you need to coach with confidence all year long. If you want the full toolkit, the Hub is your best value.
Reach out with any questions! Here to support you, friend!
