CASE STUDY: Developing a Strong Coach-Principal Partnership with Andrew Ranson

This #coachbetter episode is another in our series of coaching case studies, with Andrew Ranson, instructional coach at Shanghai American School in China.

These case study episodes are designed to share the story of a coach, and the development of their coaching program and practice in their unique setting.

If you're a regular listener of the podcast, you might have heard Andrew's recent QuickTips episode where he shared the ways that he's using a Data Dashboard to develop a strong Coach-Principal Partnership. Andrew is also featured in another episode with the Shanghai American School coaching team (available 22 April 2026)! Andrew is also a member of the AAICIS A-Team, and has been featured in several episodes about the development of our non-profit. At the time of recording he had just graduated from The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program.

In this episode Kim and Andrew dig into the importance of the Coach-Principal partnership, and all the elements that coaches need to be aware of when they are seeking to make a deep impact on the school community!

In this conversation they talk about...

  • What made him curious about coaching

  • What he found surprising about the move into coaching

  • How he's focusing on developing the Coach-Principal partnership

  • How The Coach supported his professional growth - even as an experienced coach
