Authentic Engagement in Coaching Cycles

“It’s not about compliance. Adult learners need choice, ownership, and autonomy.”

Sweeney and Mausbach, 2018

How Choice Can Be Provided

• Task
• Time
• Technique
• Team

Teachers may be reluctant because...

• They are on a plan of improvement
• The are resistant to change
• They lack confidence

We engage teachers by documenting our impact.

Building a Schedule

• Step 2: Determine how many coaching cycles you can handle in each round
• Step 3: Invite teachers to participate
• Step 4: Create a schedule for coaching cycles
