This #coachbetter episode is the first in one of our new features for Season 5: a coaching case study with one of our amazing The Coach graduates, Kristen Cameron.

These case study episodes are designed to share the story of a coach, and the development of their coaching program and practice in their unique setting. Kristen is an ELD (English Language Development) TOSA in Santa Cruz City Schools, and she just graduated from The Coach last semester. In this episode we talk about Kristen’s journey as a coach, and how she’s been working to develop her own coaching practice and the district’s coaching program. We talk about what coaching looks like in her district, what works and what’s challenging, her “aha’ moments from her first years as a coach, how she’s refining her practice for the next year, and what she wishes she knew before she started. If you’re curious about scaling your impact as an instructional coach, this episode is for you!
