Building the coaches who keep good teaching going
Coaching leads are the link between LIFT, district education offices and the teachers who run daily phonics and numeracy routines. This cohort will practise observing lessons, giving feedback in fifteen minutes or less, and keeping simple records that districts can use.
Participants are nominated by their District Education Officers. Lunch and accommodation are provided.
A short look at how district coaching leads support teachers in the first cohort.
Train district coaching leads to observe a lesson and score it with the shared rubric.
Practise giving feedback in fifteen minutes or less.
Use simple data to decide which schools need a visit first.
Leave with a ninety-day coaching plan for each district.
Every participant scores recorded and live lessons with the same rubric.
Short, kind and specific conversations that end with one thing to try.
Schools are prioritised using the monthly reading check.
Each district leaves with a ninety-day schedule and follow-up support.
On day two, participants leave the training room and observe lessons in two partner schools in Musanze, with an experienced coach alongside. They compare notes and agree what good looks like.

The first cohort showed that regular, friendly visits change classrooms more than one-off workshops. Cohort 2 builds on their routines, rubric and tracking sheets so that districts can run coaching themselves.
