What is the purpose of instructional coaching, and how can you prove its value to your school community? In this episode, I sit down with Education Consultant Erinn Cottman to explore what instructional coaching is, why it is necessary, and how it supports both teacher development and student academic success.

Erinn emphasizes the importance of establishing a culture of coaching in schools, developing clear systems, and creating a shared leadership vision. We examine common barriers that get in the way of effective coaching, such as lack of systems, unclear roles, and limited support. Erinn offers practical advice on advocating for your role, building strong relationships, and setting yourself up for success at the beginning of the school year.

This episode will give you the tools to make your coaching count for every teacher and student you serve. Listen now!
