What Makes Coaching Work? with Joellen Killion

In this #coachbetter episode Kim chats with Joellen Killion, author of Coaching Matters and so many other foundational books about instructional coaching. This episode is a master class in successful instructional coaching: from defining your role as a coach to understanding "coaching heavy vs coaching light", to building a coaching program, to working with your school leaders, to measuring your impact as a coach. As always, Joellen is clear, articulate, thoughtful, and thorough in her responses to all our questions - there is just so much in here to digest, you're probably going to want to listen more than once. My head was buzzing with ideas for days after this conversation, you do not want to miss this one! This conversation is a window into the learning that happens inside The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program, because there are so many aspects of Joellen's work that we use inside the program. Wherever you are in building a coaching culture in your school, The Coach will give you the strategies, skills, and tools you need to make coaching a success. This academic-year-long online course & mentorship 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.
