Built upon the International Coach Federation standards and competencies for coaching, this exciting new resource empowers you to maximize the potential of everyone around you. This book offers:

  • A navigation system for promoting creative thinking and solution finding at every level of school systems
  • Language that builds trust, confidence, and competence
  • Methods for effective communication, such as committed listening, powerful paraphrasing, presuming positive intent, and reflective feedback
  • Testimonials of coach-leaders describing the results they have achieved in their schools
  • Strategies, tools, and questions that provide a model for conducting open and reflective conversations

Use this successful blueprint to guide teachers, staff, and students in creating productive school cultures that grow from within!
