Aspire Mailbag: When to Coach Your Staff Up or Coach Out


Listen Later

In this Aspire Mailbag episode, Jeff Gargas and I tackle two critical leadership questions submitted by our listeners:

  • How do you know when it's time to coach someone out instead of coaching them up?
  • How do we coach teachers so they don’t feel fear through the process of evaluation?

  • We dive into the delicate balance of supporting struggling staff while recognizing when a different path may be best for both the educator and the school community. We also explore how to shift the evaluation process from a source of fear to an opportunity for growth, ensuring teachers feel supported rather than judged. Tune in for practical strategies and leadership insights to navigate these challenging situations with confidence and clarity!

          New Book "The Language of Behavior" is NOW Available: https://amzn.to/4hrtsKI 
          The Language of Behavior is an essential guide for school leaders committed to transforming their school culture and addressing student behavior through a more compassionate, effective approach. Drawing on their extensive experience in education, Charle Peck and Joshua Stamper challenge outdated disciplinary practices and offer a clear, trauma-informed framework that empowers educators to interpret student behavior as a form of communication. Through three core tenets—Consider the Environment, Explore the Root Causes of Behavior, and Respond with Intentionality—this book equips leaders with actionable strategies to foster positive behavior, build stronger relationships, and cultivate a more supportive school climate.
          Packed with real-world case studies, evidence-based practices, and insights into the lasting effects of childhood trauma, The Language of Behavior provides school leaders with the tools to create lasting, meaningful change. It offers a roadmap to reduce behavior issues, re-engage students and staff, and establish a culture of accountability and empathy. This book is not just a reference—it's a call to lead with vision and transform how we approach discipline, ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive.
