That’s why #instructionalcoaching is so important! @yhs

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

Top teachers were the *most* likely to seek advice from their peers. The better the teacher performed, the more likely they were to obtain feedback on how to be even better.

Asking for advice & feedback is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Reading Elena Aguilar’s excellent book on coaching! “Now I work from a place of believing that we can transform our schools and heal our world . . . In this place, I can access tremendous reserves of energy. I can inspire others.” Thank you @artofcoaching1 !

[Sara Sjerven @SSjerven]

“Leaders either shed light or cast a shadow on everything they do. The more conscious the self-awareness, the more light leaders bring. The more limited the self-understanding, the more shadows leaders cast.” Great quote about our impact as coaches and leaders!

The payoffs of a mentorship program @yhs: “Creating a culture of educators who take responsibility for themselves and their colleagues is no small feat. Participation in a culture such as this makes it possible for teachers to grow and thrive.” Kathleen Feeney Jonson. #mentorship
