Cultivating a Coaching Mindset

You don’t have to be a coach to embrace a coaching mindset!

A course & community for all educators who are ready to work better together

Every school community can benefit from the reflective practices that coaching helps create.

Are you working towards...

Building more collaborative relationships among colleagues?
Helping students engage more thoughtfully in their learning and relationships with each other?
Navigating challenging conversations with parents or colleagues?
Being more reflective in your practice as an individual or on a team?
Developing a strong middle leadership team that builds community?
Building a coaching culture with all community stakeholders?

It's time to cultivate a coaching mindset!

Hi! I'm Kim.

After working as an instructional coach in international schools for 15 years, and then mentoring aspiring, new and growing coaches in The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program, I know how powerful coaching skills can be – within your role as an educator and beyond.

Concrete coaching skills can help you become a better listener, communicator, and collaborator. Whether or not your school has a formal coaching program, developing a coaching mindset can help you build better relationships – with your colleagues, school leaders, students and parents.

When we work better together, students learn more effectively. Cultivating a coaching mindset can help all educators create a safe space for learning and growth for all stakeholders. After working with so many clients, I know how complicated it is to unpack the concrete coaching skills educators want to understand to feel confident in using them in a professional setting. This course breaks down the key components of quality coaching practices so any educator can implement them right away – including you!

Here's why you need to take Cultivating a Coaching Mindset!

Developing a coaching mindset will help you build relationships, be more reflective, have better conversations and build a sense of community and collective efficacy in your school.

Everything we do in schools is built on relationships – but we don’t spend a lot of time learning how to cultivate them

In schools we often experience:

Complex conversations on teams around pedagogical approaches, assessment styles, or addressing student concerns.
A feeling of stagnation when professional learning isn’t aligned to our personal needs.
Challenges with the ways students interact with each other in the classroom.
Attempted professional partnerships that stall due to a lack of sustainable processes, frameworks or structures.
Interactions that are unproductive due to different communication styles or lack of clarity.
A sense of isolation when we don’t have the time or structure for deep conversations with colleagues.

Embracing a coaching mindset, and even teaching coaching strategies to your students, can help us work better together and develop a sense of collective efficacy.

Building a coaching culture goes beyond implementing a coaching program. When teachers, leaders, and support staff cultivate a coaching mindset we’re making coaching a part of the fabric of the school.
