Coaching is not a workshop or simply a new role-it requires a leader to embrace the knowledge of how others learn and change as a result of coaching language and behaviours. Being a "coach-leader" is a key competency, a new identity, for anyone in the business of developing teachers, staff, and students. On a daily basis, coaching challenges leaders to "walk the talk"-continuously growing and improving themselves before modeling and leading others.
Built upon the International Coaching Federation standards and competencies for coaching, this book introduces leaders to results coaching, a model that:
- Provides a navigation system for impacting new thinking and solution finding at every level of school systems
- Creates new pathways in the brain resulting in new energy and motivation
- Teaches language that builds trust and scaffolds confidence and competence
- Models thinking processes that move people to action
- Focuses on goal clarity and multiple options leading to action and achievement.
