Les mer Leading From the Middle

Instructional coaching is the heartbeat of school improvement, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood leadership roles in education. Hosted by researcher and leadership coach Dr. Courtney Tate, Leading From the Middle explores the complexity of navigating instructional change without formal authority. This season, we dive deep into the lived experiences of Black Women Instructional Coaches (BWIC) to uncover what it truly means to influence teaching and learning from the center of our school systems.

episode Redefining Leadership Identity with Dr. Shanita Anderson cover

Redefining Leadership Identity with Dr. Shanita Anderson

"You are there because you are supposed to be. Period. Your expertise is the evidence, and your impact is the receipt." In this episode, Dr. Courtney Tate is joined by her first guest, Dr. Anderson, a former state-level instructional coach, professor, and mentor, to dive into the first dimension of the BWIC Leadership Framework: Identity. In this masterclass conversation, we discuss: * The Teacher-to-Leader Shift: How to move from being one of the teachers to an instructional authority without a formal administrative title. * The Identity Paradox: Navigating the friction of being hyper-visible when there is a fire to put out, yet invisible when it’s time for high-level strategy. * Credibility & Authority: Why you should never feel the need to run down your credentials and how to let your expertise be your shield. * Navigating Relationships: Maintaining relational trust with former peers while upholding instructional integrity with administrators. * Redefinition of Self: How BWICs can rewrite their own leadership narrative to ensure they are seen, heard, and valued. Reflection for today: Are you allowing the system to define your role, or are you showing up as the architect of your own professional identity? Next Episode: Dimension Two — Resilience: Navigating the emotional labor of change.

The Invisible Leadership of Instructional Coaches

In this episode, Dr. Courtney Tate moves beyond the "what" of coaching and dives into the "how" by introducing the BWIC Leadership Framework. If you’ve ever felt like your role was viewed as "extra help" rather than "essential leadership," this conversation is for you. Drawing from her doctoral research on Black Women Instructional Coaches (BWICs), Dr. Tate explores the paradox of being hyper-visible when there’s a fire to put out, yet invisible when it comes to high-level strategy. In this episode, we explore the 5 Dimensions of Invisible Leadership: 1. Identity: Redefining yourself as a leader to resist external labels. 2. Resilience: Strategically navigating resistance and scrutiny. 3. Intellectual Contribution: Owning your role as a primary driver of expertise. 4. Change Agency: Leading systemic shifts through "Lateral Leadership." 5. Community & Belonging: Building the networks that sustain the work. Whether you are a coach navigating the middle space or a school leader looking to better support your team, this episode provides the professional vocabulary to move the coach from the "dotted line" to the center of the instructional vision. Reflection for today: Which of these five dimensions feels most "invisible" in your role right now?

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
