4. I believe that an accomplished coach… Recognizes that teaching is an intellectually challenging vocation Considers the diverse needs of teachers and collaborates to negotiate the challenging terrain of teaching and learning Understands the implications of assessment and instruction and appreciates the importance of ongoing reflection Is a problem solver, understanding that if teachers and students aren’t learning, solutions are rooted in action, not negative reaction. Communicates, collaborates and challenges perceptions Realizes there are times when academic content must take a back seat to a caring conversation and that people learn best when they are treated with kindness and respect.
