Coaching is providing specific feedback (constructive and appreciative) in order to help the recipient grow in the targeted area.

I'm asked by my students why I teach, and my answer is that I just don't trust others to do it better than I can.  I'm an award winning industrial engineer with a teaching degree, but I see my "Mission" in life as training others great engineers all while establishing a push for woman in engineering, but my country and my planet  needs them, both now and in the very near future.

I value integrity, & knowledge, and I try to pass along these values to the students I touch with compassion & care.

Head facilitator....coaches enable and inspire others to accomplish more than they would on their own.

We do this through a "Shared Vision" model that taps into existing motivational traits in the person, or people, we're task or choose to lead.

I coach other teachers in staff meetings, and my department mainly because I'm the department chair and it's expected.

I'm also a preferred "Peer" coach due to (I guess) the rapport I'm know for establishing with my students and parents.

I know I've succeeded when I hear my saying repeated back to me, or better yet, to another student. I know I'm effective when student recommend my courses to siblings and their friends. I know I'm an effective coach when I see/hear that a teacher is passing along something I taught them. It's all about affecting others, therefore, the role of leader is usually unrecognized, and a real leader knows that fact going into the role.

Repeats what I have taught them, and when they take something you taught them and they adjust it to make their own. Adaptation and adoption are the highest form of effectiveness in leadership, because until adoption....you've just dolled out advise....it has to be adopted to be effective.

Inspires others to "Pay It Forward" and inspire and teach others what I have taught them. I tell my students not to get frustrated when they attend college and other students are not as far along as they are; I encourage them to lift the performance of everyone in their group, and that's when you are a true top performer - when you lift the performance of others.

I coach/teach to inspire, I'm a strong performer who believes in enabling others and tapping into the internal motivators that others naturally possess .

I exist to inspire others and pass along what I have learned over the years; to create future leaders.

I could use this very exercise to share with my colleagues during staff meetings and peer coaching sessions.

I believe that all teachers are capable of great things and we are all better together.   Teaching is not an easy job and I want to be a support system and advocate for the teachers in my district.

I know that I am effective coach when I ask a question and a teacher needs time to think before they can answer - then I know that I gotten to a place that pushes them.

When colleagues leave knowing what their next steps will be and they want to continue working with me, then I know that I did a good job.

I want teachers to feel empowered to try, fail, and try again. I want them to know that they are cared for and supported.

I keep these values close and try to remind myself of this multiple times daily via my purpose, which could be considered my mission; to create men and women of empathy and integrity who will lead, be great citizens, and great family members.

Empowering others to achieve their gains/goals.

You can't do this for them...only with them...

# data[].attributes.body
I've never coached teachers, however, have gotten to the point in my career that people do ask for suggestions...which, in a way, could be coaching.

I coach teachers because they are colleagues, peers, and team members that are trying to assist the school community in a common goal (school mission).

# data[].attributes.body
When teachers begin to speak the language of the culture we are trying to install/create/enhance. It shows me they believe in what we are doing...which is powerful.

When my client feels empowered to continue to be a master at what they are doing...and want to learn more. It drives me and them.

People can work outside their proverbial "rut" and gain new insight toward what may work for them. When people work outside their comfort zone...because many get stuck (this is what we've always done) and it can be detrimental to the development of students/new staff.

I don't want to seem too redundant, but using this format will empower my clients to consider moving outside their comfort zone toward more differentiated instruction.

To create a healthy school community in which we work collaboratively to understand barriers and work to address them.

I would use the resources from Elena Aguilar's site. These questions are on a worksheet that clients could work through, share, and discuss. This would help me better understand their vision and mission and tailor my coaching to best meet their current needs.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the greatest traps is thinking we can do it for them....they must experience the struggle....it's part of the learning / growth process.

I'm a coach for my school and my district, it's both a great honor and responsibility.  God bless and keep up the good fight.
