Confidentiality with Transparency: Separating Growth from Evaluation with Kim Cofino

In this #coachbetter episode, Kim address what she means by "confidentiality with transparency". As coaches, we know that coaching experiences need to be confidential so we can create a safe space for teachers to be vulnerable, take risks and set authentic goals. However, sometimes we worry that because coaching is confidential we can never share anything that happens within a coaching relationship.

So, what happens when:

• A coaching partner has success and sees an impact on student learning?

• Our administrators are curious about what we're doing in our coaching cycles?

• Work that we're doing with one coaching partner might be relevant or supportive to another one of our coaching partners?

• When we're seeing trends across a division or subject area that would be helpful for leaders to know?

• We want to build interest in the impact of coaching by sharing coaching stories with the school community?

• We need to demonstrate the impact that coaching has made with people who manage the budget or the board?

Listen to this episode to find out how to approach these situations.
