Coaches’ leadership skills that communicate trust building will increase teacher vulnerability and therefore teacher growth.
Quality coaches integrate the agendas of teachers, principals, and central office staff to bring the best learning opportunities to the students.
One of the key leadership skills of coaches is to identify the common vision of student achievement that drives the work of all stakeholders.
There is insufficient time in a coach’s schedule for enough one-on-one coaching of staff to bring about the desired growth. Effective coaches create partnerships, teams, and professional learning communities that provide coaching to each other in the coach’s absence.
