What if veteran teachers need coaching more than novices do?​This episode of VIBE Edu continues the mentorship and coaching series by shifting the focus from novices to veteran teachers and busting the myth that experience cancels the need for coaching. Joshua Stamper, Kim Gameroz, TJ Vari, and Mitch Weathers unpack why feedback for many teachers drops off after the induction years, how that fuels fear around "improvement plans," and what it looks like to build a culture where continuous refinement of practice is normal, safe, and expected for everyone.They explore why high performers in every field have coaches, how mentoring veteran educators is less about brand new strategies and more about precision with things like think‑pair‑share, transitions, and shared routines, and how isolation blocks true collective efficacy. Through stories of supportive coaching, painful "gotcha" visits, Japanese lesson study, and Kim's work in classrooms alongside 20‑plus‑year veterans, the crew offers concrete ways to open classroom doors, use video and peer feedback, and make mentorship feel like partnership instead of remediation.***Connect with our hosts:Kim Gameroz- https://www.selebrategoodtimes.com/Joshua Stamper- https://joshstamper.com/TJ Vari- https://theschoolhouse302.com/Mitch Weathers- https://organizedbinder.com/
