Steplab x Toetsrevolutie

"Steplab's Intensive Training Day for Instructional Coaches gave me exactly what I needed to develop my skills as an instructional coach. What made it so powerful was the balance between clarity and practice: we didn't just talk about coaching - they modelled it, we rehearsed it and we put it into practice. Planning conversations, testing prompts, reflecting on how to coach with purpose... it all clicked. In addition, the team guided us through how to navigate and use the Steplab platform, which gave me the structure and confidence to use it more effectively and start coaching immediately - with focus, clarity and the tools to ensure lasting impact." - Blanca Wilde López

Founded by Dominique Sluijsmans, René Kneyber and Valentina Devid in 2021, Toetsrevolutie offer high-quality further training for teachers and leaders in the Netherlands and beyond in their pursuit to help schools sustainably improve.
