The Jim Knight Impact NetworkThe leadership-multiplying professional learning community for the principals, APs and coaches carrying more than any one person should.

Every month, a workshop with Jim Knight and a session with peers in your own role. Every week, a community that gets the job. Every day, the tools to keep the documentation off your plate, so your time goes back to teachers.

A month in the Network

What membership looks like on your calendar.

Scroll through one month. Each step adds what members get, until the calendar is full.

  1. Early in the month

    A done-with-you workshop with Jim Knight.

    A live virtual session with Jim Knight or another expert: a method in depth, practical strategies you can use that week, and live questions. You leave ready for your next conversation with a teacher.

  2. Mid-month

    Your role-specific collaborative.

    Coaches learn from coaches and leaders learn from leaders, in a facilitated session with peers in the same job, working the same problems.

  3. Every week

    The newsletter and the community.

    A members-only community for questions between sessions, and a weekly newsletter with what’s worth your time.

  4. Every day

    Support that doesn’t wait for the next session.

    The AI Coaching Agent is there around the clock, built on instructional strategies with research behind them, and GroweLab keeps your walkthroughs, feedback and coaching cycles in one place.

    Built on Jim Knight’s 30 years of instructional coaching research.

A message from Jim Knight

Give leaders time back, not more to do.

No other membership providers bundle platform, monthly PD, community and the software tool to track all of it.

Over 150,000 instructional coaches have been trained through Jim Knight and the Instructional Coaching Group, on research that began in 1996.

We are excited to introduce the Jim Knight Impact Network. I’ll admit it feels a little uncomfortable to have my name attached to something like this, because the work has never been about one person. For more than three decades, I’ve had the privilege of learning alongside remarkable coaches, teachers, and school leaders whose ideas and commitment have shaped everything we do.

What excites me most about this network is not the name, but the possibility. We know that even the best coaching practices can get buried under the daily pressures of school life. Too often, professional learning asks educators to give more time when they already have too little. Our hope is that the Jim Knight Impact Network will do the opposite by providing practical tools, meaningful support, and a community that helps leaders focus on the conversations and partnerships that matter most for students.
