40. The Process Coach Mindset: Why Great Leaders Learn First
In this episode of Educate to Self-Regulate, I'm joined once again by my friend Nidean Dickson as we unpack the emerging role of the Process Coach, a leader who brings together coaching, expertise, coordination, and a deep commitment to learning.
We explore insights from new 2025 research on Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) from the article "Professionalising Schools on Self-Regulated Learning: Roles, Responsibilities and Challenges of Process Coaches" (Frontiers in Education, 2025).
In this episode, you'll learn:
✔️ What a Process Coach is and why this role supports SRL across schools
✔️ How leaders can model learning to build trust, agency, and teacher efficacy
✔️ Practical ways to design PLCs that foster real professional growth
Listen now and rethink what it means to lead the learning process.
