Coaching…
¨ Is NOT about “Fixing” the teacher ¨ Is NOT evaluative ¨ Is about goal setting and problem solving to impact
student growth ¨ Is NOT for a few- all teachers benefit from coaching ¨ Is NOT a time for the coach to “tell” you what to do ¨ Is about collaboration and teamwork (two (three or
four) heads is better then one) ¨ Is about developing strong rapport with teachers

but a partner in problem solving
