       What are the Benefits of the
        RSN Team Coaching Model?
• It is focused on building staff capacity and influencing professional
  development for the purpose of increasing student achievement in
  reading.
• It is designed to support the implementation of the RSN content,
  including the sequential instructional model.
• It draws upon the unique expertise and experiences of a variety of
  leadership skills.
• It expands the role of the site coach(es) into a multi-faceted
  approach which answers the unique and varying needs of the school
  staff.
• It demystifies the notion that coaching is so complicated that only
  a few will be good at it and so complex that there is little time to
  engage in it.
• It has the potential to reform the way professional development is
  planned and implemented at the school site.

                                                                 9

                                  32
Take 5 lessons from
  the Wild Geese




                      33
   Lesson 1
• As each goose flaps its wings, it
  creates an “uplift” for the birds
  following.
• By flying in a “V” formation the
  whole flock adds 71% more flying
  range than if each bird flew alone.




                                        34
   Lesson 2
• Whenever a goose falls out of
  formation, it suddenly feels the
  drag and resistance of trying to fly
  alone and quickly gets back into
  formation to take advantage of the
  lifting power of the birds
  immediately in front.

                                     35
   Lesson 3
• When a lead goose gets tired, it
  rotates back into formation and
  another goose flies at the point
  position.




                                     36
            Lesson 4
• The geese in formation honk from
  behind to encourage those up front
  to keep up their speed.




                                       37
     Lesson 5
• When a goose gets sick,wounded or shot, two
  geese drop out of formation and follow their
  fellow member, to help and provide protection
• They stay with this member of the flock until
  he or she either is able to fly again or dies.
• Then, they launch out on their own, with
  another formation, or to catch up with their
  own flock.




                                              38
      Assignment
Write a brief scenario about
 a situation or topic around
 which you would liked to be
coached later on in the day.
Use the Post-It notes in the
        table baskets
                          39
              Article Review
• We are going to individually read the article,
  Coaching Isn’t Just For Athletes: The Role of
  Teacher Leaders, by Ellen Guiney.
• Read and highlight the significant ideas from the
  article.
• Select the most important idea you would like to
  explore and be prepared to use it with the IDEA
  Protocol (e.g.”The students with the greatest
  need should be the ones who spend the most
  time with the classroom teacher.”).
• Turn your important idea into an empowering
  question for the group (e.g. “What steps would
  need to be taken to accomplish this?”).

 Sit in a group of 3. Identify a
  facilitator/ timekeeper (5 minutes per
  group member).
 In 1 minute, the first person in the
  group refers to or reads his/her selected
  insight to the group and provides a brief
  explanation, detailing his/her thoughts.
 This same person turns his/her insight
  into an empowering question to be
  explored by the group for 3minutes.

After discussion, the presenter takes 1
 minute to decide upon an action to be
 taken as a result of the conversation.
Write the action on a strip of paper to
 be shared with others in the group and
 outside the group.
Continue the entire process providing
 each person in the small group with 7
 minutes to explore their insight by using

Think about all you know about
 mentoring and coaching. How
 would you determine when to
  shift into either of these
 specific roles with a client?

 Guidelines for Coaching Shifts
• Coaching is preferred and is the starting point
• Move quickly and flexibly between the roles as
  needed,
• Move back to coaching whenever possible
• Ask permission before moving to either type of
  mentoring; collaborative or instructional
• These shifts may occur within a single
  conversation or during various stages of the
  coaching relationship

       Level 3 Listening
    Interestingly, the Chinese
character for “listen,” pronounced
“ting,” consists of pictures of the
     ear, eye and the heart.



                                65
       Listening Set-Asides

      Communicated Messages
 93% of a communicated message is non-
  verbal (38% tone of voice; 55% body language)
  • facial expression

                   Thomas Crane, The Heart of Coaching
   Level 3 Listening Activity
• Choose a partner, and decide who will be
  partner A and partner B.
• Partner A will turn his/her back to the
  screen (coach) and partner B should be in
  position to see the screen (client).
• When a word comes up on the screen,
  partner B will use facial expression, body
  language, and gestures to convey the
  non-verbal message. No talking!
• We will switch roles.

Level 3 Listening - Debrief

 Think back over the activity we
     have just completed...

    What are the benefits of
  receiving the whole message?

    What do we do with that
 information once we receive it?

                                   71
            Rapport Quote
 Many, and sometimes most, of the critical
meaning generated in human encounters are
   elicited by touch, glance, vocal nuance,
    gesture, or facial expression with or
     without the aid of words. From the
 moment of recognition until the moment of
 separation, people observe each other with
     all their senses, hearing pauses and
intonation, attending to dress and carriage,
 observing glance and facial tension, as well
      as noting word choice and syntax.
                                         72
     Rapport Quote                - continued

  Every harmony or disharmony of signals
 guides the interpretation of passing mood
     or enduring attribute. Out of the
  evaluations of kinetic, vocal, and verbal
cues decisions are made to argue or agree,
  to laugh or blush, to relax or resist, to
      continue or cut off conversation.
     D. Barnlund, Interpersonal Communication:
         Survey and Studies, pp. 256-257

                                                 73
  When to intentionally apply
       rapport skills…

 When tension or anxiety is
  anticipated
 When tension or anxiety emerges
  during a coaching conversation
 When it is difficult to understand/
  pay attention to the client

      Adapted from Costa, Garmston; Cognitive Coaching   74
    Rapport skills to Initiate -
      Matching client actions

What are the implications for
instructional planning in order
  to meet the needs of each
    child in our classrooms?
                              77
 Group Exploration
 With a partner, discuss
 the following question:


  What does a
picture frame do
for the picture?
       What is a Frame?
  “... it is helpful to take a moment to
frame the purpose of a question you are
about to ask. By sharing your intention
   up front, you set a context for the
question rather than just dropping it on
your [client]...It creates more openness
    to listen, effectively gets people’s
 attention, and provides a clear context
for the line of questioning that follows.”

              Thomas G. Crane, The Heart of Coaching   79

• Set the stage for an empowering
  question
