A Case Study: Moving from Classroom to Coach with Angela Mee Lee

Every other week we're releasing a short episode, like this one, called #coachbetter quick tips, inspired by conversations from the podcast, and work with our clients in The Coach Certificate & Mentorship Program, Women Who Lead, and COETAIL. In this episode, Kim talks about Covert Coaching: for teachers who aren't ready for a full coaching cycle yet… This episode is inspired by conversations inside The Coach Certificate & Mentorship program.

Welcome back to another season of #coachbetter! During this past crazy year, Clint and Kim didn't have many chances to record episodes together, so they share a preview of the awesome #coachbetter conversations we have lined up for season 3! They're all structured around our 3 main certificate programs: COETAIL (The Certificate of Educational Technology & Information Literacy), The Coach, and Women Who Lead so you can get a window into the learning in each of those programs through our episodes this year. A few sneak peeks into our shorter MastermindEd courses are included. Kim and Clint also chat about the ways that we can continue some of the positive outcomes on remote and hybrid learning to take advantage of all of the new things we have learned in the past year and a half!

In this #coachbetter episode, Kim chats with Patrick Holt, Head of Educational Technology at GEMS World Academy in Singapore. Patrick's background with experiential education has strongly influenced his perspectives on teaching and learning, allowing them to have a wide-ranging conversation. They talk about starting with the "why" to influence change across a school community, then Patrick's experience teaching in Qatar and the need for cultural competency, and finally the importance of "messy learning" - not just for students, but also for teachers and leaders. This episode connects three big themes of coaching: change management, understanding diverse perspectives, and critical elements in effective professional learning. If you're interested in big picture thinking about teaching and learning, this episode is for you! Find the show notes for this episode here.
