About this book
Establish a culture of coaching at your school in which any conversation can turn into a moment of professional growth.
As a principal, coach, or instructional leader, you are responsible for helping to shape the professional development of the teachers in your school. Every conversation has the potential to offer deeper learning—but not every conversation delivers on this promise.
Growth Talk: A Coaching Way of Leading in Schools offers a practical guide to enhancing teachers' learning, growth, and progress in a variety of contexts—from formal interactions to impromptu encounters that can become "coachable moments." International coaching experts Chris Munro and John Campbell explain how educators can quickly make growth conversations a norm in their schools, providing • Frameworks for coaching as a way of leading. • Field-tested tools and techniques for successful coaching. • Processes to implement coaching skills for everyday learning. • Strategies to ensure widespread and long-term success.
School systems are human-intensive, which means that influence, learning, and progress all happen through conversation. As a leader, it's important that you be intentional in how you use conversation to lead. With this book, you can learn to engage in humanizing dialogue that fosters more trusting relationships and supports teacher growth.
This book is a copublication of ASCD and One Fine Bird Press.
