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.

#116: Is Growth Mindset Actually Good?
***Watch the full, unedited YouTube version here.***
This is the very first episode Dr. Chris Jones (Executive Director of VASCD) and Becca are co-hosting informal, unplanned conversations where they share their experiences and, sometimes differing, opinions and challenge each other about all things instructional leadership and coaching. These co-hosted episodes aim to disrupt the idea that there’s one right way to do things in education and support best practices from many different points of view.
Here are the topics covered:
- Disrupting the norm
- The need for multiple mindsets
- Whether growth/fixed mindsets are good and bad (or simply neutral)
- The role of beliefs and actions (which come first?)
- Using mindsets as a diagnostic tool
- Creating common ground in coaching
- The most important skills in coaching
