The #coachapproach chat benefits school administrators and other school leaders wishing to lead with a "coaching hat." It moderated by the co-authors of the book The Coach Approach to School Leadership: Leading Teachers to Higher Levels of Effectiveness.
Heidi from Northeast Ohio. Principal of a 6-8 middle school. I believe that the best way to support teachers is as a coach. Always want to better myself to support my staff! #CoachApproach
A1: During end of year summatives I asked teachers qs about my support, so using their feedback to reflect, along with end of year data and parent surveys #CoachApproach
I am Andrew in suburban Chicago, and am an avid supporter of all things #CoachApproach. I love the mindset shift to supporting teachers more than evaluating teachers!
This was my first official yr coaching, I plan to build my upcoming year around solid, measurable goals so as to better reflect this time next year! #Coachapproach
A1 I use a wide variety of tools to reflect upon - what teacher and coach goals were met, which will carry over to next year (teacher/coach choice), my monthly reflections in bullet journal, my own goal setting progress, etc... #CoachApproach
A1 I create a survey each year to allow for honest feedback on my leadership skills during the evaluation process and other aspects of my work in the building. I use those answers to plan my goals and growth plan. #CoachApproach
Okay, so you’re really stalking me now . . . I’ve got an education handle (@AndrewBroere) and a personal account (@broere_drew). Same guy, I promise! #coachapproach
