In this bonus episode, I delve into the art of collaborative coaching through the lens of personal experience and relationship-building. I discuss how the universe brings people together at the right moments, particularly highlighting my connection with Karrie Fansler and our work with her responsive coaching cycle.

I share how I have implemented the innovative eight-phase responsive coaching model developed by Karrie and her 36 Evergreen Public Schools district coaches, explaining how it can be flexibly implemented in five practical sessions.

Key topics include
➡️The importance of choice and autonomy in coaching relationships
➡️How to document and track coaching progress effectively
➡️Practical strategies for implementing coaching cycles
➡️Building trust between coaches and teachers
➡️Maintaining confidentiality while keeping administrators informed using Learning Forward's 4Ts of Confidentiality
➡️The parallel between coaching teachers and conferring with students

The episode offers valuable insights for instructional coaches, teachers, and educational leaders looking to enhance their coaching practice while keeping students at the center of their work.
