REMOTE COACHING
Help teachers succeed after the training
How Remote Coaching works
After teachers participate in Smekens professional development, they schedule time with their Remote Coach to focus on implementation. Each 30-minute session offers just enough time to celebrate successes, troubleshoot challenges, and offer next-steps.
