Why Do Coaches Need a Macro View? with The Coach Mentors

In this #coachbetter episode we're talking about the importance of understanding the macro view of the whole school as an instructional coach. This is a highlight from one of our favorite episodes from a previous season featuring two of our amazing The Coach Mentors: Diana Beabout and Kristen Moreland.

In this clip we unpack the subtle (but often unexpected and surprising) shift to looking at your work as a coach from the micro view (what you do on an individual level) to the way that, as soon as you step into a coaching role, you are required to look at the work of coaching within a much larger viewpoint (the division, the school, the district).

This is often a big surprise for coaches - and even some experienced coaches can be reluctant to take on this informal leadership aspect of the role. But when you move into a coaching role, it becomes part of your responsibility to work towards the success of developing the program and the culture - not just the micro view of your coaching practice.
