She left and they did not keep the position for about 7-8 years.

I always found the coaches that would bounce ideas around and get to know/work with my teaching style and personality to be more effective than those that wanted to tell me exactly what to do--like a robot.]]> 2021-08-24 14:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/Athomas0206/yzj2248ptedv9ufj/wish/1693776309 In the past I've experienced coaching where I felt the goals were not manageable. Such as the goals that were listed today are wonderful, but things like engagement in the past I've had number tied to that engagement trying to get it higher and higher and as a person you can only do so much. Even in brick and mortar I couldn't get 100% engagement so that has been a previously bad experience. Feeling like you were never doing good enough or feeling like there was never a breathing point...it was always the feeling you needed to do more. Like a racehorse. You would hear, you did this great...but lets see how you can get it better. That pushing creates this dynamic of I'm never good enough. mrsturkelson https://padlet.com/Athomas0206/yzj2248ptedv9ufj/wish/1693776521 2021-08-24 14:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/Athomas0206/yzj2248ptedv9ufj/wish/1693776521 Negatives https://padlet.com/Athomas0206/yzj2248ptedv9ufj/wish/1693776903 Person would pop in and take over the classroom, even taking away my own privileges and telling things to my students that they had no business telling them. Then when meeting, they would confuse my lesson with someone else's. ]]> 2021-08-24 14:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Athomas0206/yzj2248ptedv9ufj/wish/1693776903 jbassett30 https://padlet.com/Athomas0206/yzj2248ptedv9ufj/wish/1834513137 Exposure to individuals who genuinely care about people and want them to succeed.
