Building Teacher Agency Through Coaching Conversations with Kim Cofino

In this episode Kim talks about how we can build teacher agency during coaching conversations - by providing structure to their thoughts.

This episode was inspired by a conversation with one of Kim's clients in The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program when they were going through the "In Practice" module of the course. They were starting to have coaching conversations for the first time and realized that even though their conversations with Kim during the Office Hours in the program felt so natural, there was actually a structure and a process that she was following, even though it felt so seamless in the moment!

If we want our coaching conversations to feel seamless and natural, we need to create space for unpacking a lot of ideas, while at the same time providing structure - this is part of the art of coaching. Being able to make a complex conversation feel "easy".
