Fostering Coaches’ Growth: The Power of the Parallel Process Using the CLASS Lens
How can the way we support adults reflect the same powerful interactions we want to see in classrooms?
Join us for an engaging session where we’ll explore how the parallel process—when adult-to-adult interactions mirror effective educator-child interactions—can lead to meaningful growth across your coaching and leadership work. Through the lens of CLASS®, you’ll discover how to build stronger, more supportive relationships with coaches, create a culture of continuous improvement, and use intentional strategies that align with emotional, organizational, and instructional support.
Learn from the Missouri Quality Assurance team as they share real examples of how they apply the parallel process in their work with coaches. You’ll also have the chance to discuss challenges, exchange ideas, and plan how to apply this approach in your own daily context.
Whether you're a coach, team lead, or program leader, you’ll leave this session with fresh insights and practical tools to connect, engage, and inspire the adults you support.
This session includes a 45-minute presentation, followed by a 15-minute live Q&A.
