$15 USD / month
JOIN THE COACHES' CIRCLE NOWIf you're an instructional coach, you know the feeling:
Â
You're passionate about supporting teachers and improving student experiences and outcomes in school. But some days you wonder if you're doing it right.
You look for answers in lots of places, but it's hard to find guidance you can actually count on when you need it.
And honestly? If the conditions aren't created to support your role, it can feel pretty lonely out there.Â
Â
What if this school year you had an experienced partner in your corner and a community of coaches you could turn to consistently?
People who have been where you are, who understand the unique challenges of instructional coaching, and who can give you exactly what you need to succeed - whether you're brand new or ready to expand your impact.
Â
That's what you'll find in the Coaches' Circle.
Â
Here's What You Get Every Month:
Â
đ A Practical Resource to Support Your Practice
Research-based and field-tested guides and templates that address real coaching challenges. Come back to them anytime in the members-only resources area.
đđ˝ââď¸ A Walkthrough Webinar
Step-by-step guidance and ideas for how to apply that month's resource in your coaching work.
đŹÂ A Live Q&A Session
Articles and posts about someone else's situation don't always solve your unique situation. So submit your questions and dilemmas to get support, or learn from others' problems of practice.Â
â
Access to All Recordings
Revisit any session, catch up on what you missed, or reference specific ideas when you need them.
Â
Tackling the Questions That Keep You Up at Night
Throughout the year, we'll be addressing the real challenges you face, tackling questions like:
- How do I establish my role without stepping on toes?
- What do I do if a teacher resists feedback?
- How do I coach outside of my area of expertise?
- What's the best way to structure coaching conversations?
- What other effective coaching methods can I try?
- How do I balance being supportive with pushing for growth?
- What do I do when I don't see the impact I hoped for?
- How do I manage my schedule when everyone needs help?
- What's my role when team dynamics get complicated?
Each month addresses the questions that matter most to you, building your confidence and effectiveness throughout the school year.

Meet Your Facilitator, Deborah Meister
Iâm an ICF Professional Certified Coach, a practicing instructional coach, and former classroom teacher and director of curriculum and instruction who has been helping educators from across the United States, Canada, and Costa Rica to lead, learn, and grow for equity since 2014. Iâve worked across Kâ12, college, and just about every content area, supporting coaches and school leaders to build clarity, confidence, and real instructional impact, so that teachers are supported with dignity and respect and students of all backgrounds experience affirming and cognitively challenging classroom environments.Â
 One of the biggest differences in my own instructional coaching development has been having a strong coaching community.
But I know thatâs not the case for everyone.
Many coaches are on small or scattered teams, or have no fellow coaches on their team at all, managing their own growth and support with little guidance.
I created The Coachesâ Circle to change that.
This membership brings together practical tools, meaningful learning, and a supportive space to actually apply what youâre learning. No more stack of unread books or one-off trainings with no follow-through. Coaching is a craft, and you deserve time and space to sharpen it over time. I'd love to support you as we continue to grow together.Â
