Using AI in Instructional Coaching: Best Practices & Tools

Coaching thrives on relationships, reflection, and meaningful dialogue. Instructional coaches support teachers in refining their practice and improving student learning. Traditionally, this work has been built on in-person conversations and observations. But with AI becoming more advanced, it’s starting to shape coaching in new ways.

When used well, AI can enhance - not replace - the human side of coaching, offering powerful insights and tools that help coaches and teachers work smarter and more effectively.

Learning Design

At GCI, we believe that we act our way into learning rather than learn our way into acting. With this principle in mind, all of our courses have a strong emphasis on practice.

GCI courses are designed by educators for educators with a commitment to interactive and engaging learning experiences delivered by skilled facilitators with extensive experience in education.

When we are engaged in praxis we are reflecting in action – taking what we are learning and applying it in real-life situations. Our in-person and online courses enable praxis through a ‘coaching approach’ to facilitation combined with a range of thoughtfully designed adult learning experiences including:

  • individual and group reflection activities
  • co-operative learning tasks
  • practise opportunities using real workplace scenarios
  • modelling
  • observation and feedback
  • debrief sessions

The option of a spaced learning design consisting of live interactive workshops complemented by self-paced modules on our Learning Management System (LMS) provides the opportunity for participants to apply skills and techniques in their context between sessions.

The Using AI in Instructional Coaching: Best Practices & Tools course is currently available online only, in a range of formats:

  • One full-day
  • Two half-days spaced
  • Three 2-hour workshops spread over a number of weeks
Our Facilitators

As a coaching organisation, we endeavour to model a ‘coaching way of being’ in our interactions with our clients by being:

  • Respectful
  • Humble
  • Curious
  • Strengths-focused
  • Reflective

We encourage a culture of high expectations through our commitment to the ongoing development of our people based on mutual respect and collaboration. Our consultants are expert coach practitioners who draw on a wealth of educational experience to provide the highest level of service as coaches and trainers.
