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
