Coaching Conversations
Item # 176
By Linda Gross Cheliotes & Marceta Fleming Reilly
Learn how coaching conversations-which are different from supervisory and mentoring conversations-shift responsibility for instructional improvement from the school leader to the entire school community!
“Educators often develop strategies and methodologies based on workplace challenges. The skills are not always the most effective but often emerge from the 'baptism by fire' approach. This book offers strategies and skills that may be incorporated immediately. The material is very useful. In fact, I just used one of the strategies with a member of my team!” (Rob Slauson, Principal )
“A necessary handbook on any administrator’s desk, this book is an evening read that can be readily operationalized the next morning. The book could serve as a basis for conversation during an administrators’ roundtable discussion.” (Bonnie Tryon, President, School Administrators Association of New York )
“This book most definitely makes a distinct contribution to the field of education and any field where human interaction occurs between a leader and his or her subordinates.” (Dana Salles Trevethan, Principal )
“The book helps school leaders be effective coaches to effectuate necessary change in schools. It is a tremendous asset to any school leader who wants to make a significant difference in the lives of children.” (Roberta Glaser, Retired Assistant Superintendent )
"Imagine having the insight and skills to transform simple conversations into opportunities for growth and reflection. While many school leaders wait for professional development days, the most successful leaders recognize that individual conversations held countless times per day serve as the most authentic example of job-embedded professional learning. Educators can facilitate substantive growth in individuals and organizations-one conversation at a time-and this book shows them how." (Stephanie Hirsh, Executive Director )
