An effort made for the happiness of others lifts us above ourselves.
-Lydia M. Child
Effective coaching in educational settings can benefit if coaches and mentees follow ground rules spelled out by Ronald Bearwald in Educational Leadership (October 2011) and summarized here:
- The best coaching partnerships are voluntary.
- Information shared within the coaching partnership should remain confidential.
- Coaching activities should seek to expand professional knowledge, develop skills, and explore best practices by promoting examination of the mentee's competencies and experiences, as well as the school culture.
- The focus on coaching must be on overall progress, not on the minutiae of day-to-day activities.
- A coaching partnership focuses on the practical not the abstract.
