Summer Series - Episode 6 - Keep the End in Mind

Effective coaching starts with a clear vision of what great instruction looks and sounds like. In this episode, we focus on how to help teachers start with the end in mind—by defining precise instructional goals and anchoring coaching conversations to them. You’ll learn how to align coaching moves to student outcomes, prioritize clarity over quantity, and build a shared understanding of excellence across your team. We’ll connect this to practices from Leverage Leadership and Teach Like a Champion to show how starting with the end makes coaching more targeted and transformational. When teachers and coaches share a clear vision, every feedback cycle becomes more focused and more impactful.
