This #coachbetter episode is about the enabling conditions for coaching success and is a highlight from one of Kim's favorite episodes from a previous season featuring Ellen and Bruce Eisenberg, Founders of The Professional Institute for Instructional Coaching. Ellen and Bruce highlight the importance of developing a school culture that supports a growth mindset and a coaching culture.  If we don't have the systems and structures to enable teachers to opt-in to coaching and we aren't ensuring that coaches are focused on coaching work, it will be very challenging to build a coaching culture. All schools need the three elements of the Thrive Model for coaching to be successful and sustainable and most schools are missing at least one - is your school missing consistency?

This #coachbetter episode is about the difference between a coaching mindset and a coaching program. There is a HUGE difference between embracing a coaching mindset and building an intentional coaching program. However, because it's quite hard to see all the layers that go into an intentional coaching program it might seem like if everyone has a coaching mindset, we have a coaching program. Although that's a wonderful foundation, it's not quite all it takes to create a thriving coaching program. Kim unpacks 5 key differences between embracing a coaching mindset and an intentional coaching program. If you're curious about how to articulate all the pieces that go into a fully developed coaching program - and how that's much more than having coaching conversations, this episode is for you!

In #coachbetter episode, Kim chats with Dr. Lindsay Prendergast, who's currently Assistant Director of the Danielson Group, and a best selling author. Lindsay was a teacher, administrator and a coach for many years before shifting to work with the Danielson Group. In this conversation, they talk about: Why appraisal and supervision is so important - and should be seen as a gift How appraisal has gotten twisted, and become so punitive Where coaching fits into this process Where the lines get blurry when administrators seek to bring coaching into appraisal  How we can help draw a clearer distinction between supervision, appraisal, evaluation and coaching and growth Why the language and the naming of processes (like appraisal, feedback, and coaching) so important What schools (coaches & leaders) need to consider as they are working towards building plans for both appraisal and growth This conversation might be controversial because it unpacks so many challenging concepts that are a key focus in many senior leader conversations. It is absolutely essential that we have clarity on the difference between appraisal and growth. Find the show notes for this episode here.

In this #coachbetter episode we're talking about building a culture of coaching. This is a highlight from one of Kim's favorite episodes from a previous season featuring Leigh Miller, Deputy Head of School at Munich International School. What we love about this clip is that Leigh describes what a culture of coaching looks and feels like from her time at a previous school.  What's especially interesting is that they developed a coaching culture even BEFORE they hired coaches. Even before they had coaches, they had a community where everyone (teachers, leaders, students, support staff) were encouraged to embrace a coaching mindset. And that coaching mindset created an open collaborative learning culture. And then they hired coaches.

This #coachbetter episode is about the importance of coaching being voluntary. This is a highlight from a favorite episode from a previous season featuring Kaitlyn Pettinga, who at the time of recording was Assistant Middle School Principal at the International School of Panama. In this clip, Kaitlyn clearly defines the structure of their divisional leadership team - and how the coach and administrators work together. There are clear distinctions between the roles so there is no confusion, and so teachers know exactly what kind of support they can get, and from whom. This is one of the reasons Clarity in the first step in the Thrive Model for Sustainable Instructional Coaching. For coaches and coaching to be successful, there needs to be clarity about the role and purpose of coaching. Clarity about coaching being confidential, voluntary and not tied to appraisal is essential. This is what ensures that coaching is a safe space to grow.  Find the show notes for this episode here.

In this episode Kim talks with Andrew Ranson, High School Instructional Coach at Shanghai American School (and graduate of The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program) about how he got started using a coaching dashboard - and how it helped transform conversations with his school leaders! We know that leadership support is a critical aspect of the success of a coaching program and the idea is to share a birds-eye view summary of the coaching work that has been happening in their building or division. When the building or divisional leader knows that coaching work is happening - and helping them move forward on their strategic goals, it immediately sparks more curiosity about what is happening and how they can support it.

This #coachbetter episode is about creating a coaching culture. This is a highlight from a favorite episode from last season featuring Steve Barkley. This clip highlights how important it is for coaching to become a culture embedded in the school. This can not be work that coaches are doing on their own.

In this #coachbetter episode, Kim address what she means by "confidentiality with transparency". As coaches, we know that coaching experiences need to be confidential so we can create a safe space for teachers to be vulnerable, take risks and set authentic goals. However, sometimes we worry that because coaching is confidential we can never share anything that happens within a coaching relationship. So, what happens when: A coaching partner has success and sees an impact on student learning? Our administrators are curious about what we're doing in our coaching cycles? Work that we're doing with one coaching partner might be relevant or supportive to another one of our coaching partners? When we're seeing trends across a division or subject area that would be helpful for leaders to know? We want to build interest in the impact of coaching by sharing coaching stories with the school community? We need to demonstrate the impact that coaching has made with people who manage the budget or the board? Listen to this episode to find out how to approach these situations.

In this #coachbetter episode we're talking about why schools hire coaches. This is a highlight from one of Kim's favorite episodes from last season featuring Head of School Jim Laney and Director of Curriculum Sara Brodhead. Jim and Sara define the benefits of coaching on so many levels: what the Board needs to hear, what motivates leaders, and the benefits of coaching to improve student learning. There are so many reasons for schools to invest in coaching, but it is a big investment. Understanding the value of coaching from multiple perspectives can help you advocate for coaching too! Understanding the "why" behind coaching is part of Phase 1 of the Thrive Model: Finding Clarity. We know from our AAICIS research that the clarity of a coaching program is the biggest factor in teachers and leaders reporting positive benefits to coaching.
