Season 7 Intro: Hot Topics in Instructional Coaching Across the Globe

This is the first #coachbetter episode for season seven of the podcast and Kim highlights 5 key themes that have been percolating to the surface in her work over the past academic year. All of these topics have been a big feature of the in-person work Kim has been doing, our global cohorts of The Coach, and the long term consulting work she does with schools.

The themes are:

  • Maintaining confidentiality (with transparency) in coaching relationships (and the importance of separating coaching from any aspect of evaluation, supervision and appraisal)
  • The power of data as a pathway to understanding the impact of coaching
  • The importance of case studies & sharing your impact within your school community; and
  • Developing a coaching mindset and coachability on staff;
  • Finding hope, joy and presence in our work in schools

Kim is sharing these because so many of the coaches that she works with, particularly in our global cohort of The Coach, feel like they are alone in these conversations. They wonder if they are the only one who is thinking about and trying to start conversations about these topics in their school.

If that sounds like you, you are not alone.
