Coaching is a change from traditional educational roles. The primary role of the coach is to ask questions that are open-ended and promote cognition. Listening, probing for deeper meaning, and being non-judgmental are essential components. More than ever, teachers need to be supported and valued so that they can help their students achieve their full potential – academically, socially, and behaviorally.
Coaching plays a vital role in supporting teachers to feel successful with the implementation and ongoing revision process of evidence-based practices.
