Today, I officially completed Unit 4 of my Apple Learning Coach journey — and honestly, this one felt different. It felt like everything from Units 1, 2, and 3 suddenly clicked into place. 💡

Unit 4 wasn’t just about learning anymore — it was about designing, planning, and shaping who I am as a coach.

🌱 A Unit That Pulled Everything Together

What I loved most about Unit 4 was how it kept reinforcing the essentials — the coaching cycle, the coaching philosophy, and the Everyone Can Create approach. Each time these elements reappeared, I felt a little more at ease. The repetition didn’t bore me; it grounded me.

It reminded me that coaching is not about perfection — it’s about clarity, intention, and humanity. And, most importantly, it reminded me why I started this journey:

👉🏼 to lend a helping hand to teachers. 🫶

 

🎨 Finding My “Coaching Philosophy in Action”

In this unit, we had to start brainstorming ideas for our Coaching Philosophy in Action project.

For me, the idea that stood out the most was exploring Keynote animations — something I’m still a beginner at, but absolutely love learning.

It’s fun, visual, expressive, and honestly? It makes me feel young again. 😄

And I want the teachers I coach to feel that same spark of joy.

I realised that my philosophy naturally shapes the kind of coach I want to be:

✨ Empathetic — meeting teachers where they are

✨ Practical — sharing workflows, resources, and baby steps

✨ Supportive — through demo lessons, co-teaching, and check-ins

✨ Reflective — always learning with the people I coach

Not imposing. Not overwhelming.

Just walking together.

🧭 Crafting My Coaching Timeline

This unit also pushed me to draft my first coaching timeline — something that used to scare me 😅 but now feels doable.

I built it around:

• Weekly check-ins 🗓️

• Bi-weekly one-on-one support 👩🏻‍🏫

• Monthly creative workshops 🎉

Linking it back to Unit 2’s Action Plan and Unit 3’s coaching reflections made everything feel connected — almost like I’m building my own personalised coaching system.

💛 The Heart of It All

When I stepped into this course, I thought it was purely about edtech.

But Unit 4 reminded me again and again:

Coaching is human work.

It’s about trust, pacing, confidence, and connection.

Technology is just a tool.

People are the purpose. 💛
