Today I’m excited to bring you another episode of Stories from the Field. Stacie and I had a fun chat about her journey as a first year instructional coach, after a number of years in the classroom.

Here are some specific takeaways from our conversation:

• How Stacie uses humor and likes “keeping it real” to build relationships with teachers
• What Stacie has learned about becoming a better listener, and how to do it!
• The importance of becoming a “partner” with teachers
• How Stacie creates a welcoming coaching space
• The unique way Stacie documents her work as a coach (clue: selfies!)
• Stacie’s top tips for new coaches

Resources mentioned:

• Time & ToDo Planner

And if you have any follow-up questions for Stacie or would like to connect with her further, here’s where you can find her:
