The Importance of Intentional Conversations with Michele Mattoon

The Importance of Intentional Conversations with Michele Mattoon

This #coacbetter episode is about the importance of intentional and structured conversations. This is a highlight from one of Kim's favorite episodes from a previous season, featuring Michele Mattoon, Executive Director of the National School Reform Faculty.

Recently as part of one of AAICIS Leaders Speaker Series we had Jennifer Abrams share with our community about Stretching Your Learning Edges (Jennifer has also been a guest on the podcast if you want to check out that episode), and as she said on the podcast, Jennifer highlighted how as educators we are not trained in having conversations with other adults.

Having intentional and structured conversations, through the use of protocols, can really help us navigate difficult and challenging topics that, as Michele says, sometimes need “guardrails”.

Because instructional coaches work with so many different stakeholders, with so many different perspectives, experiences and opinions, it’s so important for us to know how to structure conversation for productive discourse and dialogue. Protocols are one way we can do that.

If protocols are new to you, make sure to check out the full episode with Michele. Once you start using protocols in your professional learning, and group conversations, you won’t go back.
