A great listen with my brilliant colleague @alexgingell on his experience as a Primary Head setting up coaching, the importance of modelling and rehearsal and how you find the time to make coaching work 👇
Get to know Alex (@alexgingell), my co-conspirator in January's @Steplab_co instructional coaching intensive in NYC. We talk culture, modeling, rehearsal, and what actually makes improvement stick. https://t.co/rkFVp8KAkp
