Making Instructional Coaching Sustainable with Ellen and Bruce Eisenberg

About this episode

This episode discusses the enabling conditions for coaching success and highlights the importance of a supportive school culture for instructional coaching.

This #coachbetter episode is about the enabling conditions for coaching success and is a highlight from one of Kim's favorite episodes from a previous season featuring Ellen and Bruce Eisenberg, Founders of The Professional Institute for Instructional Coaching . Ellen and Bruce highlight the importance of developing a school culture that supports a growth mindset and a coaching culture. If we don't have the systems and structures to enable teachers to opt-in to coaching and we aren't ensuring that coaches are focused on coaching work, it will be very challenging to build a coaching culture. All schools need the three elements of the Thrive Model for coaching to be successful and sustainable and most schools are missing at least one - is your school missing consistency?
