Coaching Call: Building A Culture Of Coaching in a School Where It Doesn't Exist with Sara Wilkins

This #coachbetter episode is part of our special series featuring real-life coaching conversations with one of Kim's amazing clients, Sara Wilkins, who, at the time of recording, had just graduated from our course for classroom teachers moving into a coaching role called Getting Started as an Instructional Coach. HUGE thank you to Sara for being willing to record this session to share with all of you!

This episode is such a great example of the power of coaching - and how a single coaching conversation can help you get unstuck.

In this conversation Kim and Sara talk about how Sara can…

bring her existing training and experience to her role as a middle leader
use her coaching skills to connect with others in the school community that have similar goal
better understand the potential resistance to the work she's trying to do
bring this conversation to a leadership level
consider how to shift her language to help others embrace a coaching mindset
use existing structures at her school to create a bridge to coaching
