Collaborative coaching is a process to enhance intentional practice and improve student learning and achievement. Building upon a foundation of mutual respect and inquiry, coaches support growth by asking questions that promote reflection, and in so doing they also learn about their own practice. This quick-reference laminated guide provides an overview of mindsets and skill sets essential to a successful coaching process. Susan Villani and Kathy Dunne provide practical information and effective strategies from the perspective of the coach, on topics such as: Dimensions of Success; The Coaching Cycle; Norms of Collaboration; Data Gathering; A Continuum of Coaching Behaviors. A critically important resource in an era where teacher supervision/evaluation is in the process of being transformed.
