Planning Backward for Instructional Coaching Success with Steve Barkley

In this #coachbetter episode Kim chats with return guest Steve Barkley, Executive VP PLS 3rd Learning, author of many books about instructional coaching, and Advisor Executive Committee of AAICIS, the Association for the Advancement of Instructional Coaching in International Schools.

Kim is excited to share this episode with you, not only because Steve is amazing and one of her coaching superheroes, but also because he was one of our first ever guests on the show - so it’s especially interesting to hear first-hand how his thinking has evolved over time since that conversation.

In this episode they talk about:

• Systems for coaching success - especially when starting from scratch

• What leaders need to know about the long term impact of coaching - especially when talking to their school board

• How to make coaching sustainable

• What experienced coaches can do to continually refine their practice

• Trends in instructional coaching in international schools

This episode is a gold mine for coaches or school leaders looking to build successful and sustainable instructional coaching programs! Steve works with so many schools, and has such a deep understanding of how coaching works - you don’t want to miss this episode!
