The quality of the conversations in an organization can critically influence the organization’s effectiveness. This session explores how a coaching orientation, together with a strong coaching process and key coaching skills, can make a significant and immediate difference in the conversations in which school leaders engage every day. It provides leaders with the tools they need to take a coaching approach to all conversations with their teams. Three areas of focus will guide the structure of the day:
- The GROWTH Coaching System
- Coaching Way of Being
- Key Coaching Skills
This workshop was developed by Jim Knight's Instructional Coaching Group to provide a coaching model for administrators, supervisors, and evaluators that is differentiated from an instructional coaching model facilitated by an instructional coach or teacher leader.
Participants will receive a copy of The Leader's Guide to Coaching in Schools (Campbell and van Nieuwerburgh, 2018) and the Leaders as Coach Workbook (Knight, 2019).
