Instructional coaches juggle a lot! They support teachers, build relationships, attend meetings, and are often given tasks that go beyond their coaching role. So, how can you balance coaching with everything else you’re asked to do?

In this episode, Instructional Coach Jaime Vandergrift joins me to discuss managing the many hats of an instructional coach. We explore the different hats instructional coaches wear and the challenge of balancing coaching work with other tasks.

Jaime and I talk about limiting beliefs, being a team player, setting boundaries, prioritizing coaching responsibilities, and the pressure to do it all. She also reflects on tasks she took on that she later realized weren’t really part of her job. Plus, she explains why it’s important that coaches are not seen as administrators if they want to maintain trust with teachers.

Listen now for Jaime’s insights, practical tips, and honest talk about managing the many hats of an instructional coach!
