In this #coachbetter episode, Kim chats with Lindsay Deacon and Angela Harkness, authors of the EduCoach Survival Guide (and instructional coaches in Portland Oregon, USA). They discuss several key elements to successful coaching: understanding yourself as a coach, working with school leaders, how to effectively support teams, and the importance of building coaching relationships and having fun in your role. Lindsay and Angela share tons of stories from their own coaching experiences in Portland area school districts, as well as unique scenarios from their book, the EduCoach Survival Guide. This conversation is a window into the learning that happens inside The Coach Certificate & Mentorship Program. This academic-year-long online program will empower you to confidently apply instructional coaching strategies in any situation - from building a coaching program to being a leader in your school community. Registration for our next global cohort opens on February 21st and closes on March 14th. Find out more, and join the waiting list at edurolearning.com/coach today! https://coachbetter.tv/episode-142/
