Embracing Your Curiosity as an Instructional Coach

It can often feel easier to be an expert (or a consultant) than it is to coach.

Whether it's building peer coaching skills among a full faculty, or inside The Coach with educators who are learning to be instructional coaches, or in workshops with teachers who are just learning about coaching, we all feel very comfortable in the consultancy dynamic. We're familiar with the concept of mentoring or giving advice, and it's easy to think that coaching is the same thing.

This #coachbetter episode is about embracing your curiosity as an instructional coach - and letting go of feeling like you need to be an expert.
