About this episode

Coaching alternatively certified teachers? It’s not about lowering expectations—it’s about shifting the support.

These educators bring deep content knowledge—but often need help breaking it down, planning it out, and managing the classroom chaos.You can’t coach them like traditional first-years. Their path needs a different path forward.

In this episode, Dr. Lisa Hall-Hyman shows why coaching alternatively certified teachers demands customized support that goes beyond the traditional first-year playbook.

She shares the biggest coaching missteps, how to avoid overwhelming new teachers, and why celebrating small wins isn’t fluffy—it’s foundational.

Listen in to learn how small wins, tailored support, and a flexible mindset build teacher efficacy that actually lasts.
