3 Steps to Growing a Thriving Coaching Culture with Kim Cofino

Season 6 · Episode 249

Tuesday, September 3, 2024 • Duration 22:30

In this #coachbetter episode, Kim talks about the 3 elements necessary for instructional coaching to thrive - and be sustainable over time.

It’s easy to think that once coaches are hired, and a coaching program is established, that a coaching culture will grow, but if you’ve been coaching for any length of time, you know that it doesn’t really work like that. It takes a lot of intentional and strategic work to grow a coaching culture - and you need to build in systems and structures to make it sustainable over time.

Kim will share about how to do exactly that - following The Thrive Model for Sustainable Instructional Coaching.

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

Season 6 · Episode 248

Tuesday, August 27, 2024 • Duration 30:28

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).
