Build Master Teachers
Just as each teacher brings different skills and talents to the classroom, we recognize that there isn’t one cookie cutter way to empower the teachers on your team. At Mindsteps, we help you match your own leadership style to each teacher’s needs and situation. Our approach focuses on creating lasting change, not short term fixes. Consider us as your sideline coach as you guide teachers at your school to reach new heights.
Read on for tips on how to engage in the kinds of strategic conversations with teachers that assess the needs of teaching staff while inspiring impactful instruction, boosting performance, helping work through challenges and achieve positive student outcomes.

The Instructional Leader’s Guide to Strategic Conversations with Teachers details four targeted, strategic conversations to address specific teacher goals and challenges. We’re proud of Dr. Robert Marzano’s endorsement on the value of this book in enhancing administrators’ leadership:
“Ready-made worksheets and templates help readers prepare for and conduct these conversations, making this book a valuable guide for principals, assistant principals, staff developers, instructional coaches, specialists, or district-level leaders.”
