My good friend and incredible instructional coach wrote this thought provoking piece about taking an asset base approach to coaching. @PamKou taught me how to do this in the classroom with my kids, it makes a lot of sense to bring it to my coaching cycles too! #Elementaryschool
As coaches, we want to consider, value, & celebrate the interests and next steps of everyone in the school community. Here are a few actionable ways of doing just that: @middleweb @CorwinPress middleweb.com/47354/communit…
