What I believe I have learned from the four models this week is really amazing. I have gained critical information that definitely will impact my life as an educator. Every model emphasized this week has different teaching techniques and each model helps meet the different needs of teachers. Even though, I am still having doubts on how to implement a specific model, I think instructional and content coaching can be implemented with novice and veteran teachers depending in the need of the teacher who is having issues in the classroom. According to Knight (2008), an instructional coach must possess excellent communication skills and deep respect for teachers’ professionalism. In addition, they must provide lessons, observe teachers, share their …show more content…

The Cognitive process is not rote or directive, but instead used structures for supporting the teacher’s own planning and reflecting (Knight, 2008). I also learned about the collegial coaching this week and it was amazing to acquire all new information that will help me become a better teacher and help others succeed. In Collegial Coaching, the coach and the teacher must have efficacy, collaborate to exchange information and learn from each other (Laureate Education, 2010a). According to D’ Antonio’s (2001), he emphasizes the importance of the collegial model and its relationship with efficacy. In addition, collegial coaching personally fits more with new teachers because it provides a non-threatening system of interventions and they can grow more as educators implementing all these interventions. I really liked this model also to implement with my Collaborative Colleague. I am also planning to use all the four coaching models in my school because I believe teachers have different needs to meet; therefore, I must be knowledgeable on all four so I can implement them effectively with my colleagues and improve …show more content…

The goal is to transform teachers to become effective educators using different teaching models in the classroom. As educators, we need to understand that we never stop learning new ways on how to improve the education of our children; therefore, we need to acknowledge and implement new teaching models so we can make a difference in student learning. The similarity that I observed between the instructional and collegial model is that the coach first teach the lesson and the teacher observes the lesson and take notes. Then, the teacher teaches the lesson, and the coach observes and takes notes (Laureate Education, 2010g). Implementing Using collegial coaching, teacher can also learn from each other and provide positive feedback and reflect to make it better the next time. I believe the two models that I am interested in implementing next year are instructional and collegial coaching. Both models implement a pre-conference, observation, and post conference. According to Knight (2008), Coaches must offer positive feedback, support, and build positive relationships with mutual respect to enhance learning. Personally, I think that collegial coaching is mainly for novice teachers and emphasized by Venison (2010d). I believe this coaching would be suitable for my Collaborative Colleague because he needs a lot of help in the classroom. Offering choices in the type of coaching I would implement with my

  • Teaching Article: Six Steps To Successful Co-Teaching

    706 Words  | 2 Pages

    The article, “6 Steps to Successful Co-Teaching”, also discusses six helpful tips to implement into the classroom to make co-teaching successful. The first step being to establish rapport as teachers, the students will be able to tell if there is tension between the teachers so they will feel more comfortable if the teachers are comfortable also. The second step is to identify both of the different teaching styles. The teachers need to find a balance and create a consistent classroom. Third step is to have both teachers discuss strengths and weakness. By knowing both of the teachers’ strengths and weakness upfront they can see who can reach more students in different areas. Discussing IEPs and educational goals is the fourth step and by doing so both teachers will have a better understanding. The fifth step is to form a plan of action and act unified in all matters. Being consistent is very crucial in the classroom and even outside of it. The last step is to take risk and grow. The article discusses how co-teaching creates a safety net for the teachers to take more risks than when they are by themselves (Marston).

    The article opens up with an explanation as to what the method of coaching is. According to Holland, “life coaching”, as it is called, is considered to be a variant of typical counseling. Coaching is in its early stages (as of 2007), yet it is used in developments and processes that are designed to help individuals with aphasia live their lives to the fullest and improve their quality of life. The work of Goldsmith (an earlier mentioned practitioner) is the author’s main interest. Goldsmith’s approach involves what one may call a “Buddhist” way of thinking; meaning change is seen as a positive thing. Speech-language pathologists place their trust in their client’s ability to take on new skills, arrange their new language capabilities, and acquire new problem-solving tactics.

  • Coaching Style Essay

    791 Words  | 2 Pages

    Finally the cooperative style of coaching is when both the coaches and athletes share in decision making. The challenge with cooperative style coaching is that as a coach you have to balance when to direct athletes and when to let them direct themselves while mentoring them along the way. When it comes to coaching, like everything else there are advantages and disadvantages. From my experiences I think a coach should be able to not only change styles but need to have the ability to delegate some decisions to their players in a way that empowers them to think and input ideas about the sport for themselves. It is “important for coaches to uses different styles because players respond in different ways. Some players are motivated by one approach more than another. It is important to try to work with players and to keep their enthusiasm and motivation ( Chapman).” Importantly no matter what coaching style you utilize as a coach you need to be flexible and have the ability to change styles that are appropriate to each situation that athletes need. In the end, productive coaching styles, actively engage their athletes in the learning process regardless of the type of style you

  • Reflection On Coaching and Mentoring

    2117 Words  | 5 Pages

    My ethical and moral views, beliefs, attitudes and values have been fashioned by an up bringing that centred on Christian beliefs. Even though religion was not forced upon me as a child, my mother raised us all with a strong sense of right and wrong. Along with the influence of my family, the Navy has had a big influence on the person I am. The Navy has a strong ethos of what is expected of the personnel that serve; this is made up of the following: Leadership, High Professional Standards, and Courage in Adversity, Determination, Loyalty, Mutual Respect, Discipline, A Sense of Humour, Teamwork, and A Can Do Attitude. Most recently of all though, the biggest thing that has influenced me as a person and a parent has been my experiences of working with young people. This includes acting as a Youth Advisor for Portsmouth City Council, a Mentor for Barnardos and a Youth Advisor for East Sussex County Council. I am currently working in two secondary schools as part of my resettlement from the Navy. This has given me the experience of working with young people living in virtual poverty, in constant trouble with the Police and education services and some young people with varying levels of disabilities. This work has given me a good ability to stay impartial, to be non judgemental and has given me a capacity to treat people a lot more emphatically than I was ever able to. This is because I have been exposed to a greater range of problems and personalities than I have been used to in the Navy. These are qualities that I will hopefully be able to transfer into my coaching practice.
