The Importance of Having a Coach, As a Coach with Whitney Mercer & Megan Holstrom

In our fourth and final episode in our short series on Coaching in Practice, Kim is chatting with Whitney Mercer & Megan Holstrom. Whitney is the Lower School Instructional Coach at the American School of Madrid, and Megan is consulting as a coach with her school. From start to finish, this episode highlights the importance of having a coach, as a coach. The relationship that Megan and Whitney have built demonstrates the value of having someone to be vulnerable with, someone to work shoulder-to-shoulder with you, and someone to be a partner in learning. Not only will this episode convince you to work with a coach - as a coach, but there are tons of gems in here that are worth sharing with your teaching colleagues to help them understand the value of coaching!
