The secrets of coaching excellence are already inside you Successful coaching has long been seen as a mental exercise — in order to do right by the teachers you serve, you put theory into practice, establish orderly processes, analyze data effectively, and implement externally mandated reforms. The truth, though, is that truly great coaches derive their success not just from what they do, but also from who they are. This groundbreaking book, based on research from an innovative mixed-methods study, provides a holistic approach to coaching that honors both mind and heart. As you explore the most important characteristics of the best instructional coaches — caring, authenticity, trustworthiness, flexibility, and more — you’ll develop and hone those same characteristics in yourself. Features include: A framework and structure for developing the characteristics of effective instructional coaches Comprehensive analysis of each characteristic Examples and stories of effective coaching in action Activities, exercises, and action points Resources for encouragement and renewal School coaches have the power to make a real difference in the lives and futures of teachers and students. By balancing your outward competencies with the inspirational application of your own inward growth, you’ll bring new joy — and success — into your coaching relationships.

Caring
A three-layered hexagon at the centre of the model consists the text “Caring: I continually refine my motives, speech, actions, and heart so I can genuinely care for those I coach.” There is a heart shape drawn inside the hexagon.
A triangle encloses the hexagons. Arrows point outwards from the innermost hexagon to the triangle.
Another triangle encloses the entire structure, with the words “Sensitive”, “Open”, “Unselfish”, “Kind”, “Supportive”, “Empathetic”, “Loving”, “Welcoming”, “Gentle”, “Patient”, Partnerships”, and “Co-operation” written on its both sides, and the words “Encouraging”, “Respectful”, and “Compassionate”, and “Understanding” written on its base.
Love is the learner’s balm, smoothing and softening sharp edges that may exist in presentation or personality, allowing learning to be deeply absorbed.
