That's the power of student-focused goals. Want to learn how to make them the foundation of your coaching conversations?

There's no better example than the budding romance between Lawrence, Kansas, and Algeria. https://t.co/dzlUAWloa1

Instructional coaching challenges us to balance humility with ambition: the humility to keep learning and the ambition to keep growing.

The question isn't whether we're ready.... it's whether we're willing to become who the work needs us to be.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Art Costa’s passing this weekend.

Art’s love for children, educators, & humanity inspired me, & his work with Bob Garmston on Cognitive Coaching helped shape a generation of coaches. I will always be grateful for his friendship & influence.
