Coaching-Based Supervision: Empowering Principals, Driving Results

Discover how Battle Creek Public Schools has reimagined principal supervision through a transformative Coaching-Based Principal Supervision (CBPS) model. Moving beyond compliance and evaluation, CBPS centers on relational trust, data-informed leadership, and a relentless focus on instructional improvement.

This session is ideal for central office leaders, principal supervisors, and superintendents seeking to implement systems of support that produce sustainable, equitable, and results-driven leadership at the school level. Walk away with a replicable coaching framework, observation and feedback tools, and actionable next steps to apply in your district context.
