Show notes

Do your teachers know what you do? Mine didn't, at first. That's why someone stopped me in the hallway and asked if I could make them some copies. True story. As an instructional coach, if your teachers don't know what you do, they aren't benefiting from your support to the fullest extent!

In this episode, I share three easy and fun ways for getting your message out there and letting teachers know exactly what you're there to do... and what you're NOT there to do! Listen in to learn how to share this with teachers!

Show notes

What is your role, coach? As an instructional coach, if we can't clearly define our role and what we are there to do, I can guarantee that your teachers can't, either. And if they don't know why you're there, they're definitely not benefiting from your support to the fullest extent!

This episode walks you through a simple process for defining your role as a coach. I share the role that I created for myself and the three-step process I used to create it. Listen in so you can define your role, coach!
