A Case Study: Finding Her Path to Instructional Coaching with Andrea Goodrich
This #coachbetter episode is another in our series of coaching case studies, with one of Kim's amazing clients, Andrea Goodrich, grade 4 classroom teacher at Concordia International School in Hanoi, Vietnam. At the time of recording Andrea had just graduated from The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program.
These case study episodes are designed to share the story of a coach, and the development of their coaching program and practice in their unique setting.
We're excited to share this episode with Andrea with you because this episode is such a great example of the ways that classroom teachers can embrace a coaching mindset and start building a coaching culture - from the team to the whole division - in one academic year. Andrea took everything she learned in The Coach and directly applied it in her school setting and it’s already created significant momentum towards coaching.
In this conversation Andrea and Kim talk about...
-
How Andrea started her journey to instructional coaching
-
What makes coaching valuable to Andrea as a classroom teacher
-
The surprises she uncovered about coaching as she was learning more
-
What Andrea was able to accomplish in just one academic year in The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program
-
What Andrea is considering as she moves forward in her professional growth
-
What she wishes she knew before she started coaching
