Big Rock Executive Coaching for Principal Managers: Develop Transformational Leadership

Aligned with our commitment to fostering expertise for sustainable, long-term improvements, Big Rock Educational Services (BRES) offers a comprehensive advancement program for Principal Managers. This program is designed to cultivate transformational coaching expertise among Principal Managers while achieving paradigm-shifting outcomes at selected school sites. The job-embedded program utilizes a gradual release model, beginning with observation and modeling by experienced BRES coaches, transitioning to co-coaching, and culminating in independent coaching led by the Principal Manager, all with ongoing 1:1 or cohort-based support from BRES.

The program unfolds in three phases:

Phase 1:
Instructional Model

Observation of BRES coaches working with school leadership teams, followed by debriefs to reinforce learning.

Phase 2:
Collaborative Practice

Collaborative coaching sessions with BRES coaches.

Phase 3:
Independent Practice

Independent coaching by the Principal Manager with real-time BRES feedback and support.

In addition to the phased, job-embedded supports, through independent or cohort-based sessions, Principal Managers will review data, co-plan, and receive targeted professional development from a BRES coach, focusing on their individual growth and development.

This program ensures that learning is contextual and relevant, leveraging critical adult learning principles to maximize effectiveness.
