A1: yes, Ts are more comfortable w/IC if the trust is evident between principal and coach. Smiles on all faces! #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1 A strong partnership is one of support, common vision, building working agreements, sharing the coaching load. #educoach #CoachApproach

Principal_KM Jun 7 @ 9:11 PM EDT

#EduCoach A1: trust, communication, collaboration =teacher growth mindset & student achievement 👨‍🎓

tweecher100 Jun 7 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Q1: Transparency and trust. These should be the instructional leaders who are working together, setting goals, sharing vision. #EduCoach

realAllisonW - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1. Trust and support from the P->IC and IC-->P. Ideally, both the IC and P will grow as a result of a strong relationship #educoach

IAteacherNan - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Yes. This. #educoach

realAllisonW - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:11 PM EDT

MrsMoodyNC Jun 7 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: trust, collaboration, and a common vision. #educoach

IAteacherNan - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: Time and "administrivia" making it hard to talk and share. #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 A misunderstanding of roles. Admin handing over all instructional leadership duties to coach. #EduCoach

realAllisonW - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:14 PM EDT

so much of what and IC to do requires a very BIG picture of where a school is headed and then the IC can help there! #educoach

In reply to @tweecher100

tweecher100 Jun 7 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1. Trust and support from the P->IC and IC-->P. Ideally, both the IC and P will grow as a result of a strong relationship #educoach

IAteacherNan - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Yep -- that leads to Ts viewing IC as evaluators. #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 A misunderstanding of roles. Admin handing over all instructional leadership duties to coach. #EduCoach

Principal_KM Jun 7 @ 9:15 PM EDT

#EduCoach A2: being on the same page 📚 in collaboration with the vision, mission, and Academic goals.

Yes! Does matter if it's explicit or implicit turnover. #educoach

In reply to @KathyPerret

KathyPerret - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Exactly. Admin should still be the lead instructional leader. A coach and a shared vision can enhance! #EduCoach

In reply to @IAteacherNan

IAteacherNan - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: In new system of instructional coaches, the IC role needs to be clear to all parties. Lack of definition causes mistrust. #educoach

tweecher100 Jun 7 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: Avoiding being seen as an administrator. P being pulled in many directions, sometimes in the middle of our meetings. #educoach

MrsMoodyNC Jun 7 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: not enough time to collaborate and then if you spend too much time together, it can be seen negatively by teachers. #educoach

IAteacherNan - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:18 PM EDT

New goal for our P this year -- she will work for protected mtg times! #educoach

Q3: What tips or strategies do you have for building principal/coach working agreements? #educoach

mrsjahudson Jun 7 @ 9:18 PM EDT

YES!!! IC and P must both make time for clear communication, create & revisit coaching contract & shared vision. #educoach

In reply to @KathyPerret

KathyPerret - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:19 PM EDT

That's awesome! Protected time is so important for coaches, admin, teachers. #educoach

A3. Fortunate that my district makes this a priority. In the beginning of the yr. there is a IC and P agreement. Think it is key #educoach

mrsjahudson Jun 7 @ 9:21 PM EDT

This is a great point! Oftentimes Ts see the relationship as threatening instead of as a partnership for school improvement. #educoach

A3: Develop a way to ensure you have contact 1:1 with all T's in some way. Say hi, offer assistance, etc. #educoach

Principal_KM Jun 7 @ 9:22 PM EDT

#EduCoach A3: must meet regularly; set up expectations and/or adjust as needed. Calibration of what is being seen in instruction. Same 📚

Would be awesome to share bc sometimes the focus is on seeing growth in others, ppl don't acknowledge the other side #educoach

In reply to @melissamcova

A4: Coaches need coaching too... particularly when you are new. #educoach

In reply to @KathyPerret, @IAteacherNan

tweecher100 Jun 7 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Coaching is still new (year 2). An agreement or contact would help clarify roles. Thnx! #EduCoach

MrsMoodyNC Jun 7 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A4: I think they can support IC's by knowing their role, help convey their role to staff and then support them in that role. #educoach

mrsjahudson Jun 7 @ 9:24 PM EDT

I actually just read this last night! #educoach I love the figure with the characteristics of each role.

To think that we don't is to go agains the idea of coaching itself, right? #educoach

In reply to @lsmith0917, @Partain_Science

A4: district supports with monthly training/collaboration time. A budget for resources/tools, and conferences. Being responsive. #EduCoach

In reply to @IAteacherNan

A5: might sound corny, but loyalty. T's should see a united team, not ICs who contradict or even worse, backstab. #educoach

KevinSheridan4 Jun 7 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A5: IC can serve as a coach for principals as they continue to reflect and grow in their admin roles #educoach

MrsMoodyNC Jun 7 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A5: the IC should be an instructional resource and partner in carrying out the goals and vision. #educoach

KathyPerret - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A5 Admin often don't have a total understanding of what happens at each grade level, etc... Coach can help. #EduCoach

realAllisonW - Moderator Jun 7 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A5. So many different types of coaching. Coach wears a lot of hats and encounter multiple perspectives--could be helpful #educoach
