RESULTS coaching: the new essential for school leaders

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.
