Dr. Joanna Michelson—an expert in adult learning and teacher education—unpacks the emotional experience of learning while highlighting how coaches can best support their learners. We discuss biases, blind spots, and other interferences to teaching and learning, while contrasting those with environmental and relational elements that strengthen the learning process. Whether your focus is on athlete, staff, or personal development, our conversation pinpoints how educational leaders can facilitate learning and growth for themselves, as well as for those they lead.
