These case study episodes are designed to share the story of a coach, and the development of their coaching program and practice in their unique setting.

We are excited to share this episode with Angela with you because Angela has been on a year and a half journey to coaching with Kim and she has grown so much! She started in the course Getting Started as an Instructional Coach and discovered that coaching is so aligned with her educational values, so she wanted to dig even deeper, and then she joined The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program.

Angela is already applying so much of her learning in her current role (at the time of recording) and in her future role in a brand-new startup school in India.

In this conversation Angela and Kim talk about...

How Angela started her journey to instructional coaching
What makes coaching valuable to Angela as a classroom teacher - and her early experiences with coaching with The Coach Mentor, Maggie Hos-McGrane when they both worked at the American School of Bombay!
The surprises she uncovered about coaching as she was learning more
What Angela was able to accomplish in just one academic year in The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program
How Angela is applying her learning in multiple contexts
What she wishes she knew before she started coaching
