In this episode, Dr. Jacy Ippolito and I discuss a wide range of coaching topics! Here are the key points:
Isolation of Coaches and Leaders: Many coaches and leaders feel isolated due to the lack of clear roles and a sense of needing to be the "hero." This isolation can hinder effectiveness.

The Coaching Continuum: The concept of "levels of coaching intensity" is introduced. These levels range from building relationships (Level 1) to analyzing practice (Level 2) to transforming practice (Level 3).

Alignment is Key: Successful coaching is not just about individual efforts but about a whole-system approach. Alignment between coaches, leaders, and teachers' goals is crucial for optimal outcomes.

Curiosity vs. Fear: Analyzing practice requires a shift from fearing judgment to embracing curiosity about student learning outcomes. This curiosity fuels the desire to transform teaching practices.

Resistance as a Systems Issue: Resistance to change is often rooted in systemic issues, not individual shortcomings. Building a culture of coaching and addressing the underlying causes of resistance are more effective than "fixing" teachers.
