    One-off workshops rarely create lasting change in classrooms. In this episode of the Time For Teachership podcast, Lindsay shares a practical Google Doc template designed to support teacher teams in ongoing, meaningful professional learning. She walks through a structured approach called Group Implementation Coaching Sessions, showing how coaching, feedback, and inquiry can help teachers refine their practice and better support student learning.   What You'll Learn in This Episode/Key Takeaways  Why continuous coaching is more effective than standalone workshops (Joyce & Showers, 2022). How to set the stage for teacher team coaching by identifying team strengths, individual values, and key priorities. Strategies for maintaining an asset-based, equity-focused, and student-centered approach in coaching sessions. Key coaching moves to help teachers shift mindsets, including: Asking for examples to get to evidence. Reframing challenges (e.g., valuing curiosity over background knowledge). Moving from scarcity to prioritization. Aligning pedagogy to core teaching values. A step-by-step walkthrough of a coaching session: Human Connection: Check-ins, celebrations, and group reflection. Implementation Check: Review previous action steps, data, and student feedback. Action Planning: Identify instructional strategies, micro-groups, or feedback systems to try before the next session.

    245. A Humanizing Approach to Coaching with Dr. Jacobē Bell

    What does it look like to coach teachers with humanity, curiosity, and care—especially in today's demanding educational landscape? In this episode of the Time for Teachership podcast, Lindsay welcomes back Dr. Jacobē Bell to explore what it truly means to take a humanizing approach to instructional coaching. Drawing on her experience coaching instructional coaches across multiple contexts, Dr. Bell shares practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real coaching moments that help educators grow while protecting their wellbeing. This conversation is part of a mini-series focused on supporting instructional coaches, particularly those who step into the role without formal preparation and are learning "by fire." What You'll Learn in This Episode/Key Takeaways  Humanizing Coaching Coaching is not just about instruction—it's also about emotional awareness, wellness, and meeting educators where they are. Coaches can balance accountability with care by centering teachers as co-producers of knowledge. Afrofuturism, Freedom Dreaming & Coaching Dr. Bell connects Afrofuturism to instructional coaching by imagining a future where educators experience wellness, contentment, and sustainability. A powerful vision: coaching that empowers educators without burning them out. Mindset Shifts from Teacher to Coach Moving from classroom teaching to coaching requires seeing the whole system, not just individual practice. Coaches must navigate adult belief systems, values about students, and differing perspectives—often without making everyone happy. Micro-Modeling as a Coaching Strategy Instead of modeling an entire lesson, Dr. Bell advocates for micro-modeling: Coaches model a short instructional move Teachers immediately practice it with students Coaches give real-time feedback This approach helps shift beliefs about student ability and leads to immediate, tangible growth. Surfacing Beliefs with Curiosity Strategies for navigating hard conversations: Reflecting teachers' words back to them Asking open, curiosity-driven questions Lowering defensiveness by naming uncertainty or even "blaming" your coaching Assuming best intentions opens the door to vulnerability and growth. Live Coaching with Care Live coaching can include gently interrupting or questioning moments of instruction—but only after trust and norms are established. Asking teachers how they prefer to be coached is a critical first step. Authenticity Over One-Size-Fits-All There is no single "right" way to coach. Effective coaching grows from authenticity, relationships, and listening—not rigid formulas. Sustainability & Change Management Dr. Bell shares her current learning focus on sustaining change in schools over time. Sustainable improvement requires planning for longevity from day one—not just short-term wins.

    How can educators gather meaningful data that actually reflects student thinking—without over-relying on benchmarks or labels? In this episode of the Time for Teachership podcast, Lindsay is joined by Dr. Jana Lee to explore how teachers, coaches, and instructional leaders can collect and analyze data that shows what students truly understand, how they're thinking, and where learning breaks down. Together, they unpack mindset shifts around assessment, flexible grouping, and skill-based instruction—and why these approaches are essential for inclusive, equitable classrooms.
