In this #coachbetter episode, we have a fantastic panel episode featuring three of our superstar graduates from The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program!

Amy, Karli, and Abby have all graduated from The Coach in the last few years. They all came to the program with lots of experience teaching and were new to a coaching role. In the program, they learned the skills they needed to be effective and successful as coaches - and they're continuing to apply and develop those skills beyond the scope of just coaching now that they've graduated. In this episode they talk about how they got into coaching, what surprised them when they moved into coaching, the skills they learned in The Coach that prepared them to be successful as a coach, and how their coaching skills support them well beyond "just coaching" and what they believe all growing and aspiring coaches should do to keep growing professionally.

"You Are What You Do" by Kim Cofino

In this #coachbetter episode, Diana, Maggie, Kristen, and Kim talk about the essentials of Professional Learning for Instructional Coaches. They talk about the gaps in professional learning that coaches may have when moving from a "more traditional role" in education, what's unique about the coaching role, how coaches can level up once they've been in the role for a while, and the kinds of professional learning that instructional coaches need to be successful in their roles.

This episode is special because they are talking about exactly what makes The Coach so unique - it's the long-term, practical professional learning with support through our mentorships that make the program special.

In this #coachbetter episode, we have Kristen Moreland, an experienced coach and school leader who works with us in The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program. In this episode, she talks about documenting and communicating the impact you're making as a coach with a wider audience. We know that coaching is one of those positions that is easily cut from the budget because there is often little direct student contact time scheduled. So it's really important for coaches, like it is for librarians, to be actively working to document and then share the impact of your work as a coach. Kristen is sharing 5 concrete strategies to help you do just that in this episode!

In this #coachbetter episode we have a fantastic panel episode featuring Kim's clients who have all made the transition to coaching over the past few years including Rebecca Morgan, Paula Plaza-Ponte, Yariv Cohen, and Sasha Robbins!

Becca, Paula, and Yariv were all in the last cohort of The Coach, and Kim has been working with Sasha as a private mentoring client for several years. Of course, they each have their own unique story for how they came to be coaching, but one of the very interesting aspects of this conversation is actually the similarities in their experience as they moved into a formal (or informal) coaching role.

This #coachbetter episode, Kim shares about a topic that's been on her mind for a while now. She talks about the realities of becoming a coach - what no one tells you before you start. This episode is inspired by conversations with her clients in The Coach Certificate and Mentorship program & with her private mentoring clients.

Moving into a coaching role has lots of big transitions.
