In Conversation with Regie
March 4, 2024
In this video interview and conversation, lifelong educator, coach, and author Matt Renwick and I discuss the importance of building trusting relationships schoolwide, the role of coaching in professional learning, using instructional walks to highlight students’ and teachers’ strengths and efforts, collaborating with students and the school librarian to build a school library where students are empowered to set the budget, order books, and make decisions about how the library works best, and growing professionally and personally—to name some topics we discuss.
