A Successful Coaching Culture with Ji Han

In this #coachbetter episode we're talking about what coaching looks like in schools where it's been implemented well.

This is a highlight from one of our favorite episodes from a previous season, featuring Ji Han, Associate Director of School Evaluation and Support at the Council of International Schools (CIS).

Ji has such a wide experience with coaching in so many schools, hearing her description of what coaching looks like when it's working well can provide a powerful vision for school leaders, or coaches advocating for instructional coaching.

We're sharing this specific clip because it addresses several of the most common questions we hear when we speak with school leaders about coaching, they wonder:

If they should mandate coaching to ensure that every educator takes advantage of that support.
If leaders should do the coaching (perhaps part of Professional Growth Plan)
How to celebrate the success of coaching if it is confidential

Ji clearly articulates how coaching can grow, when we ensure that we have some essential structures in place: coaching is invitational, coaching happens with a peer, and we see coaching as an experience for all teachers, rather than viewing it as a way to "fix" teachers (or a deficit model).

These are three big components that come up on the show all the time, so if this is interesting to you, please be sure to check out the other episodes:
