Great question! I think it often depends on the size of the school. If it's possible to have one or two classes, so that you have the pace of the academic year (managing report cards, parent teacher conferences, etc), but still have the majority of your time available to support other teachers, I think that's a great approach. I have always appreciated being able to teach AND coach when the schedule works. It becomes a challenge when you are given close to a full time schedule, or your schedule gets filled up with duty, exam supervision, sub cover, etc; so that you're not actually available when teachers need you.
Generally speaking, yes. You would need to be a certified teacher, and often have experience as a coach as well (depending on the school and the expectations).
I am SO glad I found your channel. I will be embarking on an instructional coaching journey this fall.

Do you think it is beneficial for ICs to also teach? In addition to coaching? Is that feasible?

Do you need a teaching license to obtain work?
Generally speaking, yes. You would need to be a certified teacher, and often have experience as a coach as well (depending on the school and the expectations).
