Coaching

“Thoughts are our way of connecting things up for ourselves. If somebody else tells us about the connections she/he has made, we can only understand them to the extent that we do the work of making those connections ourselves.” Eleanor Duckworth

Goals To learn about roles that cooperating teachers play To learn tools for building relationships, such as trust, rapport, and reflective questioning To discover strategies for guiding reflective conversations

As you think about building a relationship with your student teacher, what will your priorities be?

Coaching the student teacher… How do I start?

Mentoring Roles 1.Parent 2.Expert 3.Friend 4.Boss 5.Coach

Putting It All Together What percentage of time do you spend in each of the mentoring roles?

Coaching Is… Many dictionaries suggest that to coach is: To teach To train To tutor A set of interactions between two individuals for the purpose of mutual professional growth An independent relationship in which we support each other’s learning (co-learning)

Coaching Tools Rapport Trust Reflective questioning

Rapport Build rapport through: Posture Gestures Tonality Language Breathing Paraphrasing Listening

When To Apply Rapport Tools When you sense that your student teacher is tense or anxious When a conversation becomes tense or anxiety-ridden When you do not understand what the student teacher is saying When you are unable to pay attention to each other

Paraphrasing Paraphrasing communicates that you: Have HEARD what the speaker said, UNDERSTAND what the speaker meant, and CARE about the speaker. Paraphrasing involves either: SUMMARIZING what you heard, or RESTATING it in your own words.

Principles of Paraphrasing Attend fully. Listen to understand. Capture the essence of the message. Reflect the essence of voice tone and gestures. Make the paraphrase shorter than the original statement. Paraphrase before asking a question.

Unproductive Listening When listening to the speaker, avoid: Autobiographical comments; Inquisitive, frivolous questions; and Easy-fix solutions.

Possible Paraphrasing Stems So… In other words… While you… Given that… From what I hear you say… I’m hearing many things… As I listen to you, I’m hearing…

Trust Build trust through: Confidentiality Consistency Interest Thinking Withholding judgment

Trust (cont’d) “When trust exists in a relationship,” I…

Reflective Questioning Reflective questions: Are open-ended, Promote a nonjudgmental process, and Encourage self-directed learning and problem solving.

Reflective Questioning (cont’d) Reflective questions help the student teacher: HYPOTHESIZE what might happen. ANALYZE what did or did not work. IMAGINE possibilities. EXTRAPOLATE from one situation to another. EVALUATE the impact.

Effective Question Stems Some effective question stems: What’s another way you might…? What might you see happening in your classroom if…? What options might you consider when…? How was…different from or similar to…? What criteria do you use to…?

Questioning Tips 1.Have a specific intention for the question. 2.Use the context to shape the question. 3.Use exploratory language.

Questioning Tips (cont’d) 4.Use introductory phrases. 5.Use plural nouns. 6.Eliminate “why?” 7.AVOID: Do you…? Can you…? Will you…? Have you…?

Consider this… If you know the answer to the question you are about to ask, you are not coaching.

“Teachers are their own most valued resource in the teaching profession. Teachers not only need to be acknowledged for their talents, skills, and abilities, but also must be allowed and encouraged to share these valuable resources with their colleagues.” North Central Regional Educational Laboratory
