This is our space to think about how we can improve education using key ideas from brain science.

Coaching isn’t about fixing “broken” practice—it’s about leveraging how the human brain naturally learns, adapts, and grows. In this episode, we sit down with instructional coach Kathryn Markloff from Perkiomen Valley School District to unpack the inner workings of instructional coaching that meaningfully impact teachers and students, through the lens of brain science. Kathryn explains shifting from a deficit model to continuous growth, the power of non-evaluative trust between coaches and teachers, bridging top-down and bottom-up needs, and why leaders can benefit from coaching support too. This one transforms all grades, disciplines, and roles—enjoy the conversation!
