Welcome to Instructional Coaching with Ms. B, where we believe that every teacher deserves a coach, and every coach does too! I’m Chrissy Beltran, an elementary teacher who became a coach and I had to create my own coaching program that worked. Now I teach coaches how to design their coaching programs, build a school-wide action plan, and use differentiated strategies to support teachers. Plus, I’... more

  • Great Podcast. So informative!

    Coaching with Mrs. B gives great insight to the difficulties that come with being a teaching coach within a school. This episode in particular uses data tracking and usage to track where support is most needed and how to provide that support, because not everyone starts in the same place. I like that Ms. B breaks down different ideas for how to start with a new teacher, especially ones that may not have had coaches before or don’t know how having a coach could benefit their classrooms. It is imp... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

293. Collaborative Team Response with Kurtis Hewson
Q: How does this approach leverage the strengths of a diverse group of teachers?
The method intentionally mixes teachers of different experience levels and content areas, encouraging sharing of proven strategies from both veteran and newer teachers, while naming practices by stakeholder rather than individuals. This crowdsourcing and immediate application model builds collective capacity and supports the teacher's sense of ownership.
293. Collaborative Team Response with Kurtis Hewson
Q: Can you give us kind of a run through of the structure of a Collaborative Team Meeting?
Kurtis describes a four-layer model of collaboration plus a standard meeting sequence: celebrations based on data, identification of a single key issue using an eight-word prompt, and then a crowd-sourced exchange of feasible strategies from multiple teachers and the instructional coach. The process emphasizes norms, facilitation roles, and a predictable agenda to drive concrete actions that teachers can try in their own classrooms.
289. How to Build Teacher Knowledge with Michelle Ruhe
Q: Can you tell me a little bit more about how you're using this plan, like a three-year plan approach to build teacher knowledge at the school level?
We begin by assessing our current reality across instruction, then identify missing pieces using data, pick one central topic, and stay with it for a long enough period to see real changes. We support this with lots of examples, classroom visits, and reflections, ensuring alignment with leadership and other coaches so the plan stays cohesive over time.
288. Instructional Coaching Priorities for School Growth with Dave Stuart Jr.
Q: Can you introduce us to the six things?
The six things form a bullseye model around the core goal of helping students master content: five beliefs (credibility, value, effort, efficacy, belonging), knowledge building and argumentation, and the basic literacy moves of reading, writing, and speaking/listening, all of which work together to raise motivation and capability in learners.
283. Strengths-Based Coaching with Steve Barkley
Q: How does a strength-based approach differ from traditional coaching?
Steve explains that true strength-based coaching centers on leveraging what teachers and students already do well, framing feedback around strengths, and using this foundation to grow in areas that matter for student learning, rather than focusing primarily on deficits.
