Ever wonder how to maximize your coaching effectiveness, especially as the semester draws to a close and the holiday season approaches? Join us for an insightful discussion with Dr. Stephanie Brenner as we navigate critical considerations for coaches. We'll discuss ways to fully utilize remaining coaching time, strategic planning for a fruitful new year, and the value of data analysis and reading interventions for young learners. 

Our conversation with Dr. Brenner spans teacher growth and reflection, exploring coaching strategies such as copycat teaching, whispering, and jigsaw teaching to empower teachers. We stress the importance of revisiting goals set at the beginning of the coaching cycle and maintaining a consistent pace and devoted intervention time. We round off our chat, focusing on the first semester's final stages and discussing the predictable hurdles that may arise in November and December. We underscore the coach's role as an emotional support pillar and the organization's backbone during these challenging times. So tune in because this episode is about setting you, the coach, up for success!
