In this episode, we’re talking about a critical element of the coaching role: purpose. Today, we’re chatting with John D’Arcy, Deputy Director of Western Academy of Beijing in China. John discusses the importance of both the coach and the school leader understanding the purpose behind the role of the coach in order to empower and maximize the impact coaching can have on professional growth and student learning. ----------------------

ABOUT KIM: I’ve been an technology facilitator, coordinator and coach in international schools since 2000. I am passionate about the role of coaches in schools and the impact they can have on everything from student learning, to school culture and vision. I absolutely love supporting coaches and teachers in taking the next step in their journey and currently mentor several new and experienced coaches, both privately and part of our Eduro Learning The Coach Microcredential Mentorship Program.
ABOUT CLINT: I’ve been a math teacher, a design teacher, an EdTech coach and now an EdTech Coordinator since 1996. While the culture of coaching and providing a supportive environment for students and colleagues is something that I have always believed in, I have recently begun inquiring more and more about the science and research around the transformative power of coaching. I always learn so much from the conversations that I have with teachers, coaches and leaders from around the world!
