11. Facilitation and Coaching Facilitation: – Orchestration of meaningful interactions which lead to changes in mindset (Oakley & Krug, 1992) – Can lead to problem solving, decision making, conflict resolution, and task accomplishment (Killion & Simmons, 1992, p. 2) Coaching: – Practice of constructing and posing questions with the intention of engaging and transforming thought – Employing a set nonjudgmental response behaviors to establish and maintain trust and intellectual engagement (Costa & Garmston, 2002)

12. Quick Write Think about your role as an SDLT member this past year and in the upcoming Year 2 implementation: At what points in your work are you a “coach”? At what points in your work are you a “facilitator”? Are there other roles that you play?

14. Planning Data Conversations Coaching: – “Planning Conversations” Facilitation: – Facilitated Discussions

15. What is a “Planning Conversation”? In a “planning conversation” a coach will help an individual: – Clarify goals – Specify success indicators and plan for collecting evidence – Anticipate approaches, strategies, and decisions and know how to monitor them – Establish personal learning focus and processes for self- assessment (Costa & Garmston, 2002)

16. Having a “Planning Conversation” The Process Step 1: Set and Clarify Goals: This step is about establishing the goals for the event the coachee is planning and making sure they are clear to both parties. Step 2: Indicators of success: This step is about the coachee recognizing when the plan has been successful. Step 3: How will you reach this success? This step is about how the coachee will reach that success. Step 4: Learning Focus: This step is about what the coachee has learned through the conversation that he or she might want to focus on. Step 5: Reflect on Conversation: This step is about how the conversation itself has supported the coachee in his or her thinking.

17. Activity: “Planning Conversations” When might it be helpful to have a “planning conversation” with a teacher or another stakeholder? Using the handout Prepping for a “Planning Conversation”, think through an upcoming “planning conversation” you will have.

18. Coaching “Planning Conversations” Facilitation Facilitated Discussions

19. Planning Facilitated Discussions What strategies can you use to prepare for a facilitated discussion? How can you use questioning to keep a facilitated discussion going?

20. “As Palmer (1998) has noted, how we ask questions can make the difference between a discussion that goes nowhere and one that turns into a ‘complex communal dialogue that bounces all around the room.’” (Brookfield & Preskill, 2005)

21. Types of Questions Questions that ask for more evidence Questions that ask for clarification Open questions Linking or Extension questions Cause-and-Effect questions Summary and Synthesis questions (Brookfield & Preskill, 2005)

22. Planning a Facilitated Discussion Think about a discussion you will need to facilitate next year and think through the following steps: 1.What can you do to prepare participants for the discussion? 2.What is your opening question (using positive presumptions)? 3.What are some follow up questions you will want to ask? 4.Where might the conversation become stalled or blocked? 5.What questions could you use to sustain the discussion when this happens?

23. Summary 23 It is important to examine our own strengths and challenges and set professional goals. A planning conversation can help a coach guide an individual towards his or her goals. It is important to plan and prepare for facilitated discussions.

24. SDLT Share Process SDLT Presentations SDLT Poster Session – 1 or 2 SDLT members at each poster – Other team members walk around and look at posters, ask questions – Switch SDLT Feedback Template
