Coaching Q&A | Coaching Conversations with Jim Knight

Описание: In this episode, Jim Knight and Dr. Jessica Wise – fellow hosts of the Coaching Questions podcast, had the opportunity to chat about gearing up for a new school year. As we dive into our discussion, we share our own experiences and thoughts on how coaches can effectively invest in their professional development over the summer while also taking time to
recharge.

Key topics include:
Setting Expectations: We highlight the importance of establishing clear expectations for behavior in the classroom early in the school year to prevent disruptions.

Summer Professional Development: Coaches should consider taking time off to rejuvenate, arguing that breaks can enhance productivity. We encourage listeners to clarify their coaching roles and develop necessary tools, such as playbooks and data-gathering methods.

Recommended Readings: Jim shares several book recommendations for professional growth, including Coaching A to Z by Hasan Moon and You're Just Not Listening by Kate Murphy, emphasizing the value of effective communication and listening skills.

Engaging with Content: We discuss techniques for processing information from readings, such as creating mind maps or summaries, to ensure that learning is retained and applied effectively.

The episode wraps up with an invitation to the 2024 Teaching Learning Coaching Conference, encouraging educators to connect and grow together. Overall, the conversation is rich with practical advice and insights for coaches looking to start the school year strong.
