Why Hire Coaches with Jim Laney & Sara Brodhead

In this #coachbetter episode we're talking about why schools hire coaches.

This is a highlight from one of Kim's favorite episodes from last season featuring Head of School Jim Laney and Director of Curriculum Sara Brodhead. Jim and Sara define the benefits of coaching on so many levels: what the Board needs to hear, what motivates leaders, and the benefits of coaching to improve student learning.

There are so many reasons for schools to invest in coaching, but it is a big investment. Understanding the value of coaching from multiple perspectives can help you advocate for coaching too!

Understanding the "why" behind coaching is part of Phase 1 of the Thrive Model: Finding Clarity. We know from our AAICIS research that the clarity of a coaching program is the biggest factor in teachers and leaders reporting positive benefits to coaching. Without clarity it's hard for us to recognize the impact and value of coaching.
