This episode is a straight-up masterclass on what it means to lead, coach, and transform schools from the inside. I sat down with Erinn Cottman, a powerhouse instructional coach and former AP who is making sure leaders actually lead in ways that serve Black and Brown students well. We got into the admin-teacher tension, the mindset shifts educators need to thrive, and how coaching (when done well) changes everything for teachers and ultimately students. If you're the type of teacher that believes in rigor, joy, and student voice in our schools and classrooms then you're gonna be to need to press play.
