Coaching Institute

A professional development experience that certifies exceptional educators to bring the Teamship model back to their schools or institutions.

I look at the Coaching Institute as the single most important training l’ve done in my professional career. It prepared me to implement [Teamship] as a year-long course, and my students have blossomed in ways that still leave me in awe of just how much teenagers can accomplish if we only give them the tools and the space to do so. This experience has given me hope for our future, and reinvigorated me with purpose.
