C O A C HCompetency – The coach has information, ideas, and skills that are helpful to the learner, and helps to build on the learner’s current knowledge and skills. The competent coach promotes self-discovery, and shares his own knowledge and skills as needed.

Objectivity – An effective coach leaves his own expectations and strong personal feelings outside, while focusing on the learner’s perspective and intent. Supporting a colleague-as-learner encourages an examination of an idea or purpose for its own sake.

Adaptability – Sometimes the best coaching (like teaching) is through spontaneous learning situations even while addressing the goals.

Caring – Genuine interest shown through encouragement, the environment where all learning feels safe and professional growth is the outcome.

Honesty – Constructive and complimentary feedback that assists in success is respectful and collegial.

Collegiality

• Adults in school talk about practice

• Adults in school observe each other

• Adults in school work on curriculum

• Adults in school teach each other what

they know

(Judith Warren Little, 1981)

Collegial Coaching

• Strengthens an environment of trust

• Increases interdependency

• Values coaching qualities

• Develops communication guidelines

• Invites observation opportunities

• Identifies a time for reflection and discussion, before and after observation
