As more educators seek meaningful ways to evolve their professional lives beyond the classroom, coaching is emerging as a compelling next chapter—one that builds on the relational, developmental, and purpose-driven heart of teaching.
This whitepaper explores why increasing numbers of teachers are drawn to transformative coaching, and how the shift offers a powerful way to continue making a difference—this time through presence, partnership, and personal growth.
