Partnership Principles The Theory Behind Instructional Coaching • Equality- We all have equal value. • Praxis- Real-life practical application. • Dialogue- Two people thinking together. • Choice- Individuals make their own reflective decisions. • Voice- The opportunity to express one’s point of view. • Reflection- The freedom to consider ideas before making a choice. • Reciprocity- Everyone learns from one another. Jim Knight 2007 Mark McBeth 2010
Equality • A belief that everyone counts • Doesn’t mean we all agree • Doesn’t mean we’re all the same • We all have equal value • Each opinion counts Jim Knight 2007 Mark McBeth 2010
Dialogue • Respectful, energizing conversation • The developing conversation is more important than being right • Involves suspending opinions & authentic listening • Thinking together Jim Knight 2007 Mark McBeth 2010
Reflection • The teacher cannot rely on either instinct along or on prepackaged sets of techniques. Instead, she or he must think about what is taking place, what the options are and so on, in a critical, analytical way. In other words the teacher must engage in reflection. -Brubacher, Case, and Reagan • Teachers are knowledge workers. • Teachers need professional autonomy to make decisions. Otherwise, there is resistance. Jim Knight 2007 Mark McBeth 2010
