In this #coachbetter episode, Kim chats with Patrick Holt, Head of Educational Technology at GEMS World Academy in Singapore. Patrick's background with experiential education has strongly influenced his perspectives on teaching and learning, allowing them to have a wide-ranging conversation. They talk about starting with the "why" to influence change across a school community, then Patrick's experience teaching in Qatar and the need for cultural competency, and finally the importance of "messy learning" - not just for students, but also for teachers and leaders. This episode connects three big themes of coaching: change management, understanding diverse perspectives, and critical elements in effective professional learning. If you're interested in big picture thinking about teaching and learning, this episode is for you!
