ATLANTA – The Southern Regional Education Board conference on coaching for school leadership and instruction has sold out and is sure to offer media plenty of opportunities for interviews, video, and photos with educators and SREB staff.

The 2023 Coaching for Change conference, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Tues., May 16, and 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wed., May 17, will draw school coaches from all grade levels and content areas to the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center, 800 Spring St., NW.

This year’s keynote speaker is Nicole S. Turner, a K-12 educational coach, author, speaker, trainer and school improvement specialist, and founder and CEO of Simply Coaching and Teaching. Turner has worked with thousands of educators, instructional coaches and administrators across the United States in conferences, one-to-one and small group coaching, and custom professional development sessions.

Coaching for Change is the nation’s first and only learning event designed exclusively for coaches, no matter what grade level, content area or improvement need they serve. First offered in 2022, the conference provides professional learning and networking for school improvement coaches, instructional coaches or innovation coaches who coach teachers and leaders.
