How We See Our StudentsBased on Milton Erickson’s Five Principles
• 1. Okayness principle – People are Okay, nothing is wrong – Not a deficit remediation model– Gives the power back to the student– Coach provides a mirror for the student’s strengths
• 2. People already have all the resources within to be a success – Coach’s role is to help create awareness of these– Help students learn how to access these resources to
increase learning – Atkinson, M, & Chois, R.

How We See Our StudentsBased on Milton Erickson’s Five Principles
• 3. Behind every behavior there is a positive intention– Helps students understand the deeper meaning/value
behind their behaviors– Helps students understand how a behavior is serving them– Helps separate the person from their behavior
• 4. People always make the best choice available to them– Focuses on the here and now– Encourages students to see that regret and hindsight are not
always helpful, unless it is for the purpose of learning- Atkinson, M, & Chois, R.

How We See Our StudentsBased on Milton Erickson’s Five Principles
• 5. Change is not only possible, but inevitable – Encourages students to embrace and celebrate change– Helps students develop their flexibility and to learn what they
do and do not have control over– Provides hope that change WILL happen, one must simply
decide the course of change -Atkinson, M, &
Chois, R.
