S1E13 - Leadership Complexities of a Learning Support Coordinator with Jude McIntyre
About this episode
In this podcast, we'll be exploring leadership challenges with our guest Judith McIntyre. Jude transitioned from teacher and middle leader in a primary context to a high school Learning Support Coordinator. In this episode she shares her experiences of trying to juggle the demands of managing a team of Education Assistants, planning for students with a wide variety of needs and the demands of a huge campus.
We discuss how Jude initially struggled in her role and eventually reached out to her line manager for coaching and mentoring support.
We talk about how coaching and mentoring enabled her to lead a disparate group of Education Assistants from "challenging" into a well functioning team who put the needs of students first.
Witnessing Jude's professional growth and confidence has been amazing which is why I was so thrilled to have her as my guest.
