Instructional Coaching with Ms. B

Coaching is so much more than coaching cycles! It’s messy and chaotic most of the time!In this episode, we’re examining the real life of an instructional coach: beyond the coaching cycle. We’re looking at what the day-to-day life of a coach really looks like, from juggling PLC meetings and covering lunch duty to all those “other duties as assigned.”I share three powerful mindset shifts that have transformed my coaching: why coaching cycles don’t need to be a certain length to be meaningful, how to adapt coaching strategies to meet each teacher's needs, and why you don’t have to be the only expert in the room.Listen now to this episode about the real life of an instructional coach: beyond the coaching cycle!-Chrissy BeltranNEW BOOK!
