Online CoachMeet held at St Ives High in 2024.pptx

Presentation 2024

1. What qualities do coaches need in complex times? Cameron Paterson

2. “ Listen . Put the coaching hat on. Coaching conversations are really important. How do you listen and give a little nudge ? It comes down to relationships. You can’t have these coaching conversations unless you really know who they are. It is a slow burner process. Keep on trying and keep on smiling. You change from the centre up, not top down.” - Joel Bevans, Vice Principal, Canadian International School, Singapore

3. “Have a genuine desire to listen and learn, to see your role as not the authority. Be truly curious about your learners, really care. Desire to listen and connect in an authentic way. When someone sees you as a human , that is really empowering as learner.”  – Nathalie Ryan, Senior Educator at US National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC

4. “When I am trying to convince people, I sidestep by starting where people are. What question are teachers asking that this might be the answer to? Share your practice. Help me understand. I make sure that the learner has agency. Let me start with you. Where do you feel that little niggling feeling?” - Tina Blythe, Project Director, Project Zero, Harvard

5. “If you are doing systemic large-scale change, you have to be focused on the adult learners first, not the children. The biggest mistake is not viewing adults as learners as well. If you don’t treat adults as professionals , you are screwed.” – Elise Heil, Principal, Sacred Heart School, Washington DC

6. “Always remember that an invitation is extraordinarily powerful - for kids or adults. It’s so powerful to invite people into change instead of telling them what they need to change.” – Kristen Kullberg, Making and Design Initiatives Coordinator, Washington International School

7. “I look for my toughest critics and start to build relationships . Instructional design is an art . I show genuine passion for their art. You have to be genuine. The art of listening .” Jeff Evancho , Assistant Superintendent Secondary Education, South Fayette School District, Pennsylvania

8. “I put my attention to people who really wanted to learn. I believe in being really direct about what I’m seeing in the classroom. I spend 10-15 minutes in the classroom and tell them what I see. Descriptive , not interpretation. This can lead to fruitful conversations.” - Jim Reese, Director of the Professional Development Collaborative, Washington International School
