What happens when three decades of instructional coaching research meets technology designed to help educators thrive?

In this conversation, Jim Knight and Shannon Buerk explore a new partnership focused on expanding the reach of instructional coaching while staying true to the principles that make coaching effective. 

They discuss why partnership, professionalism, and meaningful conversations remain at the heart of lasting school improvement, how districts can better demonstrate the impact of coaching on student learning, and how technology like GroweLab and AI can reduce administrative tasks so coaches can spend more time where they're needed most: alongside teachers.

Throughout the discussion, one message remains clear. Technology can strengthen coaching, but it will never replace the trust, humanity, and relationships that inspire real growth.
