Coach Replay is a monthly web-series built just for instructional coaches! In this three-part episode with Kelley Garris, our hosts Cory Camp and Kim Ramadan discuss the patented A2RISE Coaching Cycle, used by Sibme Virtual Coaching. Any coaching program would benefit from this systematic approach! The main points of the cycle are explained below.
Small Goals, Big Wins
At the heart of success lies clarity. Defined expectations provide the compass for educators, ensuring they navigate their journey with purpose. With the A2Rise framework, we address the crucial needs of skill enhancement and systematic growth by breaking down objectives into manageable tasks.
Awakening Awareness
This is about helping both the coach and the teacher become more aware of their identities and beliefs. For coaches, it's about connecting with who they are and challenging their identity to grow. For teachers, it's about understanding their passion and philosophy of teaching.This helps coaches and teachers understand themselves better. Coaches connect with who they are, teachers explore their passion and teaching philosophy.

This refers to a coach's beliefs, values, approaches to communication, presentation of self, and coaching philosophy. It's important for coaches to examine and understand their own coaching identity to effectively guide and support teachers.
Strategize to Meet the Goal
It's important to intentionally include time for strategizing in the coaching cycle. Coaches need to determine the best way to support each teacher with their strategy. This support can vary from providing resources to lesson planning, modeling strategies, or even videoing a strategy in action.
