Coaching Success Factors

DateWednesday, April 12, 2006 at 01:44PM

In the past year, I've had the pleasure of working with coaches in many states around the nation. Based on my experience with those fine people, and with the those who work for or collaborate with the Pathways to Success project in Topeka, I've identified 8 factors that I consider important for successful coaching programs.

The 8 factors are:

Avoiding quick fixes
Sufficient time to work with teachers
Proven scientifically proven interventions
Professional development for coaches
Protecting the coaching relationship
Ensuring coaches and principals work together
Hiring the right instructional coaches
Evaluating coaches

You can read the article I wrote on this topic at The School Administrator website.

I am interested in the role the superintendent (district leader) plays in the establishment/maintenance of a climate of instructional coaching within a district.
