🎥 A quick message from Dr. Vernon-James Riley to help you finish the year strong—and start 2026 even stronger.

Are you feeling the pressure to make your coaching more sustainable and impactful in the new year?
Are coaching conversations feeling harder to start as everyone hits that end-of-year fatigue?
Are you giving feedback but not seeing real changes in teaching?
Our FREE Focused Feedback webinar is designed specifically for instructional coaches and will reveal a simple, proven process that works for you, the teachers you manage, and ultimately your students.
In this FREE Webinar:
-
Learn about the Focused Feedback Coaching Framework – a simple, step-by-step system to bring clarity and confidence to every coaching conversation.
-
Gain access to proven strategies that work – learn the same coaching practices that helped teachers grow into leaders and drove real gains in student achievement.
-
Achieve a renewed confidence in coaching – walk away knowing exactly how to start, structure, and follow through on feedback conversations.
-
Get clarity that saves time – no more confusion or wasted meetings; instead, you’ll have a repeatable process that keeps teachers supported and moving forward.
-
Obtain the exclusive Classroom Observation Form – a ready-to-use resource, created by VJR Consulting, you can only get by attending live.
We know this time of year comes with fatigue, competing priorities, and a rush to the finish line—but this session will give you the clarity and tools you need to start the new year confident, focused, and ready to lead with intention.
