Recognizing Your Leadership, as an Instructional Coach with Dr. Chaunté Garrett

This #coachbetter episode is about the ways that coaches can see themselves as leaders in their school community.

This is a highlight from one of our favorite episodes from a previous season featuring Dr. Chaunté Garrett, former Instructional Coach, and currently Superintendent of a K12 Charter School in North Carolina.

What we love about this clip is that so often instructional coaches struggle to recognize the informal leadership aspects of the role that they might be demonstrating - even without realizing it.

Many coaches can feel a sense of imposter syndrome when we highlight the leadership work they're doing - but it IS leadership work. Seeing yourself as a leader is one of the ways that you can make an even bigger impact in your school setting - but you have to recognize it first!

This is why we frequently talk about the importance of understanding the macro view of your coaching program - embracing the big picture view is crucial to building a culture of coaching (alongside the work you're doing at the micro level within your individual coaching practice).

If you're curious about the ways that you can embrace the leadership aspects of your role - and why your senior leaders truly value you at that level, this episode is for you!
