#coachbetter Introduction to Season 6: Why Should Instructional Coaching Be a Full Time Position?

In our first #coachbetter Season 6 episode, Kim unpacks a big concept that has come up a lot in conversations recently: why instructional coaching is (or should be) a full time role in schools.

In our recent AAICIS (Association for the Advancement of Instructional Coaching in International Schools) landscape study of international schools we found that many of the schools that don’t have coaching programs cite the fact that other educators are fulfilling the role of coach, most likely people with coordinator roles, or middle level leaders.

This finding aligns with what clients in The Coach often say about the challenge of advocating for a full time instructional coaching position - and what we hear from school leaders when they’re considering hiring coaches.

This episode can help you articulate why instructional coaching is a specific skill, and how important it is that there is time specifically devoted for coaching work (not just an add-on to an already full job description).

Can anyone be coached? with Kim Cofino and Clint Hamada

In this episode Clint and Kim are chatting about a question we received in our #coachbetter FB group: Can anyone be coached? They talk about all sorts of critical elements, like school culture, teacher mindset, and the perception of what coaching is (and what it isn’t) in this conversation. They also talk about lots of different ways that coaches can start to have deeper professional conversations with their colleagues. If you’re wondering how to support all the different teachers in your school, this conversation has tons of great ideas to get you started!
