RESULTS Coaching
The New Essential for School Leaders

Edited by:

Foreword by Dennis Sparks



September 2010 | 264 pages | Corwin
Coaching is not a workshop or simply a new role—it requires a leader to embrace the knowledge of how others learn and change as a result of coaching language and behaviours. Being a "coach-leader" is a key competency, a new identity, for anyone in the business of developing teachers, staff, and students. On a daily basis, coaching challenges leaders to "walk the talk"—continuously growing and improving themselves before modeling and leading others.

Built upon the International Coaching Federation standards and competencies for coaching, this book introduces leaders to results coaching, a model that:

- Provides a navigation system for impacting new thinking and solution finding at every level of school systems

- Creates new pathways in the brain resulting in new energy and motivation

- Teaches language that builds trust and scaffolds confidence and competence

- Models thinking processes that move people to action

- Focuses on goal clarity and multiple options leading to action and achievement.

Index

"RESULTS coaching is a humanistic approach to developing needed teacher proficiencies. It draws from a standards-based body of research to teach a mandated curriculum with high-yield strategies to produce results. RESULTS coaching incorporates the best from many models of coaching, including cognitive coaching, and provides a valuable resource for leaders to clearly articulate the expectations of the work of schools.”

Robert J. Garmston, Professor Emeritus, California State University, Sacramento
Co-Developer, Cognitive Coaching

"Leaders who are truly committed to substantive and lasting change will find that RESULTS coaching is one of the definitive actions that they can take. As a beneficiary of RESULTS coaching, I know it works. The authors make many skills accessible to school leaders, who can begin tomorrow changing the way they interact with staff and colleagues and accelerating the level at which they achieve their goals for staff and students."
