Parkvale School’s Coaching Model
Parkvale’s Definition of Coaching • Coaching relates to a particular issue that needs to be addressed, relating to a key objective or development area within the school. It is delivered over a specified period of time with the aim of helping the person being coached to reach solutions themselves by drawing on the shared dialogue between them and their coach formulated through a questioning protocol/model. Coaches elicit learning through processes and problem-solving skills rather than providing answers.
1 School Wide Focus • Driven by school wide data and reviews 2011 Parkvale Curriculum Focus ‘raising the capability of teachers in the area of Mathematics’ • Appointment of Facilitators External - to drive curriculum knowledge and practice Internal - to co-ordinate and facilitate the coaching programme
2 Identification of School Wide Gaps • Through initial observations by maths facilitator and team discussions lead by maths facilitator gaps in teacher practice and knowledge became evident and were clearly identified. • Broad areas requiring development were identified in teams and a shared umbrella goal was established per team.
3 Personal Curriculum Goals in relation to Team Goals • Internal facilitator held staff meeting outlining the crucial elements involved in setting personal curriculum goal. • Key Elements • S.M.A.R.T • O.A.R ‘This is the foundation the success relies on’
Identified Coaches 4 Identified Coaches • Who on your staff is best for this role? • How do we identify them? • How can we get them to step up? • How do they see themselves? • How do the other staff see them in that role? • How do the non-coaches see and feel about themselves? • Transparent professional trust Trapped in ‘the nice!’
5 Preparation of Coaches and Organisation • Preparation • Providing release for professional development with internal facilitator focussing on model of coaches in a co-teaching role allowing opportunities for coaches to trial a situation within their own group. • clear questioning protocols and facilitative question stems. (GROW model) • Conundrum Protocol • Organisation • As part of CRT days four teachers have their days together with a 1 hour 15 min time slot given to coaching/co-teaching and professional dialogue. Two teachers work together in a co-teaching role prior to joining with the other pair for professional dialogue. This process occurs each term with any extra support given where required or requested.
