Episode description
In this episode of Coaching Conversations, I’m joined by Dr. Margarita Calderón, a researcher at Johns Hopkins University to dive into the crucial role of coaching for multilingual learners. We discuss effective instructional strategies, the unique challenges educators face, and the importance of using evidence-based practices to support these students.
Dr. Calderón shares inspiring success stories from her work, demonstrating how targeted coaching can have a tremendous impact on both educators and multilingual learners. Through her insights, it’s clear that coaching isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential for creating lasting change in the classroom.
We also talk about the importance of continuous professional development for coaches themselves. As coaches, we must constantly evolve, just as the students and educators we support do. The episode underscores the urgent need for effective, sustained support for multilingual learners—because when we equip our educators with the right tools and coaching, we set up all students for success.
This conversation highlights not only the power of coaching but the necessity of prioritizing professional growth to address the needs of multilingual students in our classrooms. The work we do as coaches isn’t just about improving instruction—it’s about making sure every student has the support they deserve to thrive.
