21. How to Get Started as a Teacher Coach with April Brown

Are you a good listener and enjoy supporting other teachers at the same time? Becoming a teacher coach might be a good fit for you! I have guest April Brown, Educator Forever’s Learning and Development Manager, to share how she made the transition from classroom teacher to becoming a successful teacher coach. 

Through our conversation, April explains that being a teacher coach can be more than just an instructional coach, but simply supporting teachers in a variety of ways. She reinforces that teachers already have coaching skills, but highlights the most important ones and provides advice on how to get started. 

April and I have an honest conversation about being able to have clients express their voice, true beliefs, and values in order to feel supported. So, if you’re looking for a career change, but still in the education field, consider being a teacher coach that provides resources and support to fellow teachers.
