Learning to Coach

Posted on February 14th, 2009 by mkrill

Recently, I attended a one day workshop with Stephen Barkley from PLS. As a technology coach, it was odd at first to find myself in a room full of non-tech type people. There were literacy coaches, math coaches, and administrators in attendance. In the end, I found the day to be enjoyable and super informative. It didn’t matter that the participants were not all coaching in the same area ~ the skills of a good coach are the same no matter the content.

I’ve embedded my notes below, done in newsletter format. My biggest takeaway of the day was that I would have LOVED to have a coach when I was in the classroom. Someone to assist with planning, observe the class in action and help me reflect after the fact. That would have been PRICELESS!
