I really work well with others. I have the ability to build relationships and make connections with others, and I think that this is an important part of being a coach.

As a teacher I know how effective the "productive struggle" can be to learning in a classroom. However, it is one of the most challenging parts of the job, since I have an innate tendency to want to help. Its hard to see the students frustrated with what they are doing and resist the urge to give them the answer. Through these meetings I have realized that coaching is so similar to the productive struggle. As a coach you are not necessarily there to provide the solution, but instead to listen and partner with the teacher to help come up with possible solutions

I am good at reading people, and part of that stems from being able to just listen to what they say.  This virtual world we live in now has made things a little more difficult because you lose so much of the body language and the masks hide some of that too, but I think the questions you gave us could help with that missing piece.

I have made a strong connection with the importance of listening and following the coaching cycle. It really is beneficial to follow this because the focus is the teacher, not the coach's own thoughts and experiences.

I would like to know more about the day to day roles of coaches. What are they doing behind the scenes when teachers are in their rooms teaching?

I want to know more about how the coach can help shape a school culture especially in a school that struggles with that. Or help push using strategies required when it clashes with school culture.

I can connect with others and feel as though I can communicate effectively with others, both my bringing my ideas to the table and listening to others' ideas as well.

I'm making connections with strategic questioning from the teachers that you coach. The importance of active listening, leading your teachers toward solutions.

Coaching is very much like when you teach students. You ask the right questions to lead them to the answers.

I would like to know more about how a coach can serve as an advocate for teachers when teachers express concerns or frustrations in a coaching session. It's nice to be a good listener, but can coaches assist in changing climate in the district to help teachers?

I can really connect with empathizing with others and hearing them fully. Very similar to the Mentor/Mentee program without giving ideas to them.

I am starting to connect how working with adult learners is definitely more of a facilitator role than a traditional teacher role.
