Ep 258: Rachael Lehr: Leading by Example, Sweeping Sheds, and Driving Change Through Instructional Coaching.
About this episode
Rachael Lehr discusses her role in educational leadership and the importance of instructional coaching in driving change.
Rachael Lehr is the foundation Associate Principal at Dayton Primary School, which opened in 2023, and the WA Branch President of the Australian Council for Educational Leaders. She is deeply committed to empowering teachers and leaders to believe in themselves and reach their full potential. Rachael leads by example, embracing lifelong learning, stepping into discomfort, and continually seeking personal growth. Her work is grounded in the authentic integration of digital technologies and STEM in the classroom, an area she is currently exploring through her doctoral research at the University of Western Australia. She is a strong advocate for instructional coaching as a driver of meaningful change in teaching and learning, and firmly believes that positive relationships sit at the heart of success. Above all, Rachael is guided by a simple but powerful belief that every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and that they truly matter. Here is the conversation I had with Dr Ray Boyd, who was mentioned in this episode. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ray-boyd-lessons-from-long-distance-running-getting/id1552506400?i=1000590711649
