Instructional Leadership: Collaborating with Instructional Coaches
School leaders are sharing their willingness to expand their instructional leadership by continuously growing their practice and collaborating with coaches.

- “When a conversation naturally allows you the opportunity to share the book that changed your teaching life with another teacher…you giddily bookmark the must read sections! I just 💞 talking about instructional practices.” —Principal in Illinois
- “Terrific learning today during our Principal/Instructional Coach sessions. So much talent and so many excellent resources in @gcschools to support our students.” —Assistant Superintendent in South Carolina
- “I want my team to see me as an instructional learner right along side them. They have to see that I am continually learning, that I am modeling exactly what I am asking of them.” —Elementary Principal in Missouri
- “You have to be able to talk meaningfully about teaching and learning, understand the complexities of designing & delivering instruction, & provide feedback that is useful & builds their capacity. It’s not just informal observations—it’s conversation focused on growth.” —School Administrator in Maryland
