I’ve just completed Unit 2 of my Apple Learning Coach journey, and it feels like a full-circle moment — a bridge between what I’ve always believed about coaching and what I’m continuing to learn.

In my Coaching Introduction Video, I shared that coaching, to me, is about walking beside teachers — not leading from the front, but growing together.

This unit gave that belief a deeper, more structured foundation.

🌱 The Power of Inquire–Plan–Act

The Inquire–Plan–Act cycle has been such a practical framework. It reminded me that coaching is most powerful when it’s intentional and rooted in empathy.

The Inquire step stood out the most for me — it’s about listening with purpose, asking questions that uncover what really matters, and co-creating goals that are realistic and meaningful.

The Plan and Act steps then helped me translate those insights into action: structured yet flexible ways to support teachers without overwhelming them.

This unit also introduced me to the Coaching Library, a wonderfully detailed resource that helps me design learning experiences that are personal, creative, and sustainable.

💬 Reflections Beyond Technology

What I love most about Unit 2 is that it applies to any coaching setting — not just technology. Whether it’s curriculum planning, classroom management, or professional growth, the same principles hold true: listen first, plan with purpose, and act with compassion.

It’s a reminder that coaching isn’t just a skill — it’s a relationship. When teachers feel seen, supported, and confident, professional learning becomes personal, joyful, and lasting.

✨ A Thought to End On

Finishing Unit 2 has strengthened my belief that coaching is shared growth — for the coach and the teacher alike.

We learn, we reflect, and we move forward together.
