"I’ve had to unlearn what I thought coaching was. I first thought I had to prove myself. I thought I had to be the one with all the knowledge. But just like in the classroom, I realized that it’s the process of constructing the knowledge together that is important. By being willing to be vulnerable and take risks myself, I allow teachers I work with to feel the same way. I’ve realized that being a coach is more about sitting alongside the team than it is about being in front of them."
