Finding Your Voice as a Leader with Rania Saeb
In this #coachbetter episode, Kim talks with Dr. Rania Saeb, Assistant Professor at West Coast University & Lecturer at Cal State University San Marcos! As an experienced international school educator, and now professor, Dr. Saeb has an amazing wealth of experience working towards equity in schools. Her research is focused on the lack of visibility of Arab American students in American schools. This conversation focuses on creating an equitable school experience for all students, beginning with the outcomes of her research, and broadening to how we can apply that learning in context in our individual school environments. We talk about why it’s important that all students are seen and what that looks like, how teachers can get started, and how Dr. Saeb found her voice as a leader in conducting and then sharing the outcomes of her research. If you’re working towards creating a more equitable school environment, or you’re curious about developing your leadership voice, this episode is for you! Find the show notes for this episode here.

Communicating Your Role as an Instructional Coach with Kim Cofino
In this #coachbetter episode, Kim talks about the importance of effectively communicating your role, as an instructional coach. We know that teachers are busy people, and yet, we want them to invest their time and energy in coaching. We know our colleagues want to be the best teachers they can be, but sometimes they still don’t choose to engage in coaching cycles with us. Why is that? Oftentimes it’s because they may not understand exactly what the coaching process looks like, exactly how it can support them, and what we as coaches can do with them that would be any better than what they can do on their own. Communicating (or “marketing”) all of those services is part of YOUR job as a coach. If we want our colleagues to engage deeply in coaching cycles with us, to see us as an asset to their professional learning, it’s important that they understand what coaching is - and how it can work for them.
