Publisher's Synopsis
Written by a teacher and coach, this book is filled with stories and tools that enable teachers to use a coaching approach in the classroom. We can rely on the fact that living and working conditions in the world change, have always changed and will continue to change, and probably change faster, and faster. Education is the way communities have developed for preparing the next generation for their living and working lives, learning from what's been done before. The Education System is continuously looking for the best ways to get the best results for ourselves, now and in the future. Any well-functioning system uses feedback to learn from its own results. Coaching (the art of questioning) is an empowering way to learn from results in order to deal with continuous and accelerating change. Coaching moves the communication focus from "Tell" to "Ask". A coaching approach is a natural addition to a teacher's or headteachers' skillset.
