“I have been using the ‘Coaching Conversations that Count’ guide to help my coaching team better align our coaching meetings with the needs of our new teachers. Each day, I begin by reflecting on the ‘Why Coaching Matters’ guide to ensure that my approach is aligned with supporting my teachers as effectively as possible. I’ve also created a ‘conversation cheatsheet’ for myself, based on the guide’s phrases, to use during meetings. I really appreciate how the statements are phrased—they help us uplift our teachers while simultaneously helping them improve. Talk about a win!”
