Teacher Career Coach
Teacher Career Coaching
Next to a parent, teachers are another adult that probably spends more time with or around a teen. This means there are things a well-informed teacher can pick up on. Quizzes, assignment organization and other projects are about command of the material, but the inability to do these tasks are potential symptoms. Emotional challenges like anxiety, depression and relational trauma can show up in students through dropping grades , disinterest and isolation in class. These are not skills that a subject or general grade teacher is prepared to manage, but it is certainly easier to handle when you are more aware. This is where a teacher career coach can come be of great help to you and your learning institution.
Instructional Coaching Testimonials
Identify Your Emotional Compass
I have found that working with teachers on their own emotional compass allows them to naturally integrate this into their curriculums and interactions with peers and students as well as parents. So many parents are more demanding about the needs of their students because of their own fears regarding their teen’s future. When a teacher understands how to be supportive without taking on more responsibility or compromising the lesson for the entire class, there is a decrease in compromised teaching, resentment towards the challenging situation and burnout.

Instructional coaching
So many people both famous and not so famous have stories of how a teacher inspired them to become who they are or make a different choice for themselves. Some stories have been made into movies while others have been recorded on late night and day talk shows. Teachers can make a huge impact on what we learn, how we learn and even if a teen wants to learn.
Why Consider A Teacher Career Coach?
What we do not consider is the story of the teacher that has given it all to the students, and given nothing to themselves, they have sacrificed until they have nothing else to give. This is how burnout happens. Of course, there are teachers that have different stories and see the power of their role and use it to control, diminish and dissuade, but for those who truly want to be their best selves and give so much we want to take this group and ask them to reconsider how they offer their best selves to their students. Instructional coaching will give you actionable insight into ways to decrease the chance of burnout and teaching fatigue.
We do not consider how the fantasy of being a teacher comes from childhood fantasies and even horrors to be just like or better than an experience as children. Children who were helpless when someone either saw them for the unique being they were, or made assumptions about the behavior being who they were instead of a symptom of what was happening to them. This is the same way adults have relationships that have been inspired by childhood interactions in the family of origin. By understanding influences that led to being in the field and the meaning behind expectations, we can get to the root of why someone does what they do and push that original inspiration to be the driving force of why someone is in the field. This is an unlimited source of energy and creativity unlike external incentives that we are made to rely on.
We rarely take the time to really understand and then consider why we do what we do, which is called insight. Instead, we keep it moving and don’t look back. In our need to compare ourselves to others or simply keep up, we can become an energized motor that never feels like enough is done and that can translate into never feeling like we are enough. This is a vulnerable space that can influence how we look at challenges not just in the classroom but in our lives. Teacher Career coaching will help you to address these issues and bring to light your “why”.
The instructional coaching work I do with teachers and schools isn’t just about supporting students, but teachers to self-actualize in their role as themselves before their role as teacher. The original quest is to understand the human that teaches before the teacher can do their most inspirational work with their students.
