Working along with my principal and connecting with the TLC, Interventionist, college tutors is where I find where I am doing some of the coaching at this moment.

The triad meeting was successful in getting the administrator focused on my role and getting me coaching not just helping.

Teacher’s don’t think they need coaching, what they want is help (daily lessons and assistance with assessment).

It is difficult fitting it all in a day trying to do it all

Sometimes it is necessary to start as a "helper" to get your foot in the door. Once in the door, it is important to take the opportunity to coach.

While I'm "helping" a teacher with something, open up a conversation about what they are planning for their lessons, etc.

When in staff meetings I listen to see if any teachers are needing support. I then reach out to them to see if we can set up a meeting. I have been successful working with teachers by doing this.

I've had more than one teacher say something along the lines of "I get that they want you to coach right now, but I don't need/want coaching. What I need is help" (with slide creation, testing, etc.)

Spending a lot of time supporting our leadership team to allow them to push in and have more collaboration with their grade level/spans rather than me being the center of all the planning and conversations.

Some teachers wanting help, but not reaching out to get it.

I found that those who don't often reach out for help are usually the ones that need it the most.

The weekly meeting with the principal is helpful.

Coaching conversations require more mental work for teachers, who during this time are more stressed than ever. A teacher was struggling with engagement, and requested help, and when I began reflective questioning--she literally interrupted "I don't want you to coach me, just tell me what to do."

(PS--I don't think is a distance learning thing exclusively.....)

It seems like many teachers either don't want us to "mess up" their routine, or they want "easy answers"

My principal gives me time to present to staff during staff meetings.  Will even ask for clarification from me during meetings.

Structuring conversations and meetings with teachers that give guidance but allow for reflective conversations and more collaboration so they don't just see you as the one with all the answers. Conversation with administrator is constantly moving between big picture and then zooming in to logistics that can support the bigger goal.

I think some of it depends on the school site. At one of my sites there are various people who can be helpers as part of their jobs (SSS, RT, etc.) At the other site there is no one and while I'm sure at least half of the problem is me, the other half is an administrator who is overwhelmed and needs help.

Every Wednesday I prepare and present a Professional Development at one of my sites at 3:00pm. Each week the topic is pre-set around something that teachers need. (Eg, yesterday I trainined my teachers on Achieve) It's completely optional for teachers, but Im finding that more teachers are beginning to attend.

Administrators need to be an example to their staff.

If the admin places value on the coach, then the staff will also see that and reach out more to the LC.

By Saying "YES" to helping in ways that are outside the scope of a coaches role....we are training teachers to view us only in that capacity.
