  9. Heavy CoachingJoellenKillionLearning Forward Steve Barkley

  10. Coaching Light Coaching light occurs when coaches want to build and maintain relationships more than they want to improve teaching and learning. From this perspective, coaches may act to increase their perceived value to teachers by providing resources and avoiding challenging conversations. They may provide demonstration lessons, share curriculum materials, or facilitate learning without holding an expectation that teachers apply the learning in their classrooms.

  11. Coaching Heavy From a teacher’s perspective, coaching heavy feels heavy — in the sense of the weight of collective responsibility and commitment each teacher devotes to the success of every student. Coaching heavy causes them to feel on edge, questioning their actions and decisions. This does not mean that teachers feel fear, anxiety, or dread. Rather, teachers feel a heightened sense of professionalism, excitement, increased efficacy, and satisfaction with teaching.

  12. Heavy Coaching Working on being accepted may delay conversations on what matters most – teaching and learning. • Being accepted gives me more leverage to work with teachers.

  13. Heavy Coaching Credibility emerges from the alignment between one’s actions and one’s words. Acting on what matters immediately builds credibility. • Being viewed as credible is essential to being a coach.

  14. Heavy Coaching • The work of coaches is to support teachers. Saying that a coach’s role is to support teachers misleads teachers. A coach’s primary responsibility is to improve student learning.

  15. Heavy Coaching As professionals, teachers seek continuous improvement. Teachers are motivated to change when they see proven results in terms of student success. When that success can be evident in their own classrooms, they become change enthusiasts. • Teachers are resistant to change.

  16. Heavy Coaching • Coaches can’t impose on teachers since they have no supervisory responsibilities. Coaches can’t afford not to impose on what teachers believe and how that impacts their actions. Their work is too important and without conversations about beliefs, deep change is unlikely.

  17. Heavy Coaching A coach’s primary responsibility is student learning often mediated by teachers’ application of effective practices rather than knowing about or knowing how to use those practices. • Helping teachers to know about or learn how to implement new instructional strategies is a coach’s primary responsibility.

  18. Heavy Coaching Coaches are responsible for helping teachers explore the beliefs that drive their actions. In dialogue, through reflective questioning, and by presenting data, coaches can influence what a teacher thinks and does. • Coaches are not responsible for what teachers do.

  22. Teacher Mindset Great teachers have a growth mind-set…. They view achievement not as innate, but rather as changeable --- the result of hard work. Great teachers believe in growth of intellect and talent and are fascinated with the process of learning. (Dweck 2006)
