This #coachbetter episode is a highlight from one of Kim's favorite episodes from a previous season, featuring Anne Marie Chow, who at the time was Middle School Vice Principal and English teacher at United World College Southeast Asia, East Campus in Singapore.
We're excited to be sharing this highlight today, because not only is Anne Marie amazing (listen to her full episode here) but if you’ve been watching or listening to #coachbetter this season, you know we’re talking a lot about measuring your impact (see links to previous episode below).
Because instructional coaching is a non-teaching position, it’s so important for coaches to be proactive about measuring and sharing the impact of their work. It’s a role that’s both challenging to find the budget to hire for, and one that’s easy to cut if school leaders don’t see the intended outcome. The more coaches can do to collect and share data around their work, the easier it will be for school leaders, and teachers, to see the value of coaching.
This episode highlights the experience of coaches at UWC Singapore and the actual types of data they are collecting. If you’re an instructional coach, curious about getting started collecting data, there are some great ideas here - and hopefully this clip will inspire even more ideas that will work just right in your school context.
