Are you struggling to make coaching more impactful in your school? In this engaging conversation, we welcome Jacy and Rita, two experts in coaching and school improvement, to explore how supporting coaches can lead to meaningful changes in education. They discuss the evolving role of coaching, emphasizing that it’s not just a formal title but a dynamic set of activities that can empower teachers and drive systemic change. These activities include adopting four key coaching mindsets, understanding school culture, and recognizing the impact of human capital versus social capital—all essential elements for driving real impact in your school. The four coaching mindsets they advocate include: Change Agent, Facilitator, Designer, and Advocate. Each mindset highlights a different way coaches can engage with teachers and leaders to improve teaching and learning.
