Learning Forward will host a Twitter chat with #EduCoach on May 4 at 8 p.m. ET. Join us along with authors from this issue of The Learning Professional and the #EduCoach community to discuss articles from this issue and the latest in coaching. Bring your reflections, recommendations, and questions to share.
To participate, follow the #EduCoach hashtag on Twitter at the time of the event.
Chat questions:
- What have you learned about coaching during COVID that will change your future practice? E.g. Ashly Skiffington says a temporary reassignment to teaching gave her a clearer vision and more empathy.
- In these stressful times, coaching can help educators rediscover their joy and purpose, says Kay Psenick. How do you help teachers and leaders recenter?
- The urgency of students’ & teachers’ needs can feel overwhelming. Sharron Helmke shared an effort-to-impact matrix tool for prioritizing. How do you manage competing priorities?
- Coaches need support and growth, too. Kathryn Murrow & Betsy Leis’ district differentiates support based on roles and experience. How do you recommend differentiating support for coaches?
- Focusing on strengths and assets is more important than ever in times like these when stress and burnout are high. What strengths have you developed or deepened this year?
