Coaches have to build a relationship with administrators, teachers, and students. These relationships will be the key to navigating conflicts and catapulting change.]]> 2017-09-20 00:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/189134056 https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/189483397 For anything to be successful, relationships MUST be built.

Everything we say and do must be done in love. If we could all have this mind-set just think of the community in our schools we could build. ]]> 2017-09-22 02:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/189981108 blakepetersen https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/189989548 Coaches ultimately contribute to the "reshaping of school culture" by building trusting relationships and building capacity. Find that core group of teachers who see the importance of "the movement," and focus on building their self-efficacy so that the "resistors" are caught up in the steadily flowing current of progress. =D]]> 2017-09-22 03:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/189989548 jlmiller6 https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190457831 To be an effective coach we have to mean what we say, engage in conversations, be authentic in what is said and in actions, validate teachers by respecting them. My Literacy Coach quoted Matthew 7:12 when asking her about relationships: "do to others what you would have them do to you".]]> 2017-09-23 19:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190457831 https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190484160 I enjoyed reading about how critical it is for coaches to build relationships. Whenever Coach Alayne stated that she "engages in conversation in the staffroom, in the hallway and in the classroom," I realized that the Title I Reading teacher at our school does the same. I have seen firsthand the positive effects of building strong relationships in my school]]> 2017-09-23 22:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190484160 rblankenship1 https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190497820 2017-09-24 03:01:35 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190497820 kjshores https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190498182 Effective literacy coaches collaborate with administration, and administration clearly supports and communicates the role of the literacy coach.

In teaching building a relationship is key to success. To build a successful relationship you have to be an active listener. In one of our first classes in this program we talked about being an active listener. As a Reading Coach we have to be an active listener to our students, coworkers, and administers to be successful. ]]> 2017-09-24 14:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190565049 https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190628617 Alayne and Amy model constructive feedback, dialogue communication (reflective questioning), and social problem solving that we read about in Johnston's chapters this week. What gave their specific scenarios success was the foundation of respect and trust they had built in their relationships with teachers.]]> 2017-09-24 21:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190628617 https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190635039 In order to be an effective literacy coach, one must be reflective. It is important that coaches build relationships and trust in order for their work to be effective. As stated in the article by Coach Alayne, "I need to demonstrate that I mean what I say, follow up in the time I have stated, and remain confidential" (Power & Boutilier, p. 1). It is important that coaches and teachers respect, listen, and assist one another for the growth of all students. ]]> 2017-09-24 23:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190635039 https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190656470 In order to provide quality coaching practices, we need to remember our job is not to be supervisor, but a supportive resource to help them increase their effectiveness in their teaching techniques. Coaches should earn the trust of the teachers by keeping your word, engage in both formal and informal conversations, and learn how to work with even the resistant teachers. ]]> 2017-09-25 02:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190656470 https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190656626 Instructional coaches must approach the position with a sensitivity to their peers. Coaches must act as co-learners instead of evaluators. This builds a trusting relationship which leads to change and less resistance to change.]]> 2017-09-25 02:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190656626 https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190658337 Overall, I love how the article showed the importance of collaboration and relationship-building with administrators and other teachers. In the section over building trusting relationships, Power writes that she needs to make sure that what she says is authentic. This holds high importance in type of relationship. ]]> 2017-09-25 02:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_leigh_hughes/powerandboutilier/wish/190658337
