Coaching Cohorts

Are you looking to strengthen instructional coaching across your schools?

Coaching Cohorts provide a structured, sustained approach to strengthening instructional coaching across schools. Through multi-year cohorts, instructional leaders develop, practice, and refine six critical coaching competencies that build shared instructional language, disciplined coaching habits, and systems that last. This work is then deepened through precise application of the Refined Instructional Framework. Cohorts serve as the central, district-level anchor for coaching development. The on-site, school-based sessions that follow extend this learning into real instructional contexts alongside each coach’s instructional leadership team.

Refined Instructional Vision

Are you looking to rally your instructional leadership teams around a clear, shared vision of high-quality instruction?

Refined Instructional Vision is a collaborative, on-site experience designed for a school’s full instructional leadership team. Leaders refine their individual and collective understanding of high-quality instruction and build alignment around a shared instructional destination that guides decision-making across classrooms and teams.

Refined Learning Walks

Are you looking to create stronger alignment and find a clear priority for teacher development?

Refined Learning Walks are a collaborative, on-site experience designed for a school’s full instructional leadership team. Leaders use Refined Implementation’s seven instructional qualities as shared lenses to identify actionable, schoolwide trends and determine focused instructional priorities for teacher development.

Refined Observation

Are you looking to strengthen coaching and PLCs through accurate, actionable classroom observation?

Refined Observation is an on-site, school-based experience designed for instructional leaders. This session develops leaders’ ability to gather real-time, low-inference observation data that directly informs coaching huddles and PLC work. Leaders are trained to use a blend of scripting, counting, and capturing to create notes that accurately depict instruction and surface actionable takeaways.

Refined Coaching Huddles

Are you looking to facilitate coaching cycles to lead to lasting change in teacher practice?

Refined Coaching Huddles is an on-site, school-based experience designed for instructional leaders. This session develops leaders’ ability to facilitate a replicable coaching huddle process grounded in same-day observation data and centered on dialogue rather than the delivery of feedback. Throughout the session, school leaders gradually assume responsibility for facilitating coaching huddles independently.

Refined Content PLCs

Are you looking for a PLC structure that permanently shifts the quality of teaching in classrooms?

Refined Content PLCs is an on-site, school-based experience designed for instructional leaders. This session develops leaders’ ability to prepare high-quality content PLCs using trends from recent classroom observation data and a clearly defined instructional priority. Leaders plan PLCs as a short series, allowing teams to refine a specific teaching practice over time.

Refined Systems

Are you looking to design schedules that protect and prioritize time for teacher development?

Refined Systems is an on-site, school-based experience designed for school leaders and coaches. This session develops leaders’ use of a replicable process for creating master coaching schedules that prioritize teacher development without attempting to change everything at once. Leaders design phased coaching calendars that gradually increase the amount of scheduled coaching work over time

There is no single starting point for meaningful instructional improvement

Every district and school has a different context. We partner with leaders to determine where to begin and how the system comes to life in practice.
