    17. Reflecting on Your Instructional Coaching Journey

    We are wrapping up season 1 with a topic that is so crucial as an instructional coach! Reflecting on your instructional coaching journey is essential for continuous growth and improvement. By evaluating your impact and effectiveness, setting goals for personal and professional growth, and seeking feedback from colleagues, other coaches, and administrators, you can continually improve and create an even bigger impact.  In this episode, I am breaking down how I reflect on my instructional coaching weekly and throughout the school year. I am sharing the 3 questions that I ask every week, the strategies I use to evaluate my impact and effectiveness, how I suggest using summer for professional and personal development, and why receiving feedback from colleagues and administration is key to growth and development as a coach.
