Coaching the Whole Educator
Coaching the Whole Educator is a podcast for instructional coaches, teacher leaders, and school leaders who want to strengthen their educators’ effectiveness and resilience, especially the ones who need it most. Each week, you’ll hear quick tips, proven strategies, and coaching mindsets designed to keep you on top of your coaching game.
This show is rooted in a human-centered approach, where we get things done through people’s humanity, not around it. Whether you’re new to instructional coaching or a seasoned instructional coach or leader looking for fresh perspective, you’ll learn how to focus on the mindsets and motivations driving unproductive behaviors. By getting to the root of resistance, you’ll discover how to build stronger relationships, lead with clarity, and create lasting impact in your school.
Coaching the Whole Educator
#43: When you think you're coaching, but you're actually not
Did you know that sometimes you’re actually consulting instead of coaching? If we as coaches could really get the whole distinction between coaching and consulting, and approach it with intention and strategy, it would solve a lot of our problems. One of the biggest frustrations I've heard from teachers over the years is not feeling valued as professionals. Knowing the distinction between coaching and consulting allows us to choose intentionally how to provide what is needed for our educators, many times pulling out their own expertise. How could anyone not feel like a professional in that kind of environment? Listen to this episode to be able to intentionally choose when you are coaching and when you are consulting to empower your educators to stay and thrive.
