This #coachbetter episode is a highlight from one of Kim's favorite episodes from a previous season, featuring Ange Molony, Secondary School Vice Principal at Discovery College in Hong Kong. Kim and Ange talk about how informal leaders, like instructional coaches, can advocate for equity in their school setting.  Instructional coaches are fortunate to engage with so many different stakeholders throughout their work, and they may have relationships and experiences with other community members that provide insight that other formal leaders don't have. When we have the opportunity to advocate for others, instructional coaches have a variety of pathways to start or continue that conversation. This conversation with Ange highlights her own experience in being an advocate, and may provide insight for you to consider how you do something similar in your school setting.  Find the show notes for this episode here.

Just as students benefit from developing a positive, growth-oriented approach to failure, teachers thrive when they are supported in the same way. Instructional coaches and administrators can play a critical role in fostering this mindset. Teachers need opportunities to embrace challenges, experiment with new ideas, and persist through setbacks, in a safe environment. Too often, professional learning focuses on delivering strategies and best practices without acknowledging the discomfort and vulnerability that come with trying something new.

"I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that's how you grow. When there's that moment of ‘Wow, I'm not really sure I can do this,' and you push through those moments, that's when you have a breakthrough.” (Marissa Mayer) How do administrators, instructional coaches, and teacher leaders foster such a mindset? Research on psychological safety underscores the importance of creating an environment where individuals feel secure enough to take risks, make mistakes, and reflect without fear of judgment or blame. In education, this principle is vital for fostering teacher growth and innovation. Instructional coaches can play a pivotal role in establishing this safety by encouraging teachers to experiment with new practices and reframing missteps as valuable learning opportunities.

Melanie shares three practical strategies for maximizing classroom time. She emphasizes managing transition times to maintain student engagement and minimize downtime. In addition, she suggests creating a collection of valuable and doable activities that students can choose from, fostering independence and motivation. Finally, she suggests training students to deliver minilessons or lead small groups, which empowers them to take ownership of their learning. These practical approaches enhance instructional efficiency and create a more dynamic writing workshop.****GO DEEPER:Read Beth Moore's post about teaching students the architecture of a minilesson.See this post from Melanie with a picture of an interactive bulletin boardLook at these student-driven conference cards.****THANKS TO OUR AFFILIATE, Zencastr!
