LDR 523 Mentoring and Coaching Fellow Teachers
This course examines how mentoring and coaching improve the performance of teachers, students, schools, and the profession. It treats coaching not as about "fixing," but as joining with peers as fellow learners. Embracing the complexities of being both coach and colleague, candidates practice mentoring and coaching competencies, including, among others, examining beliefs and values that affect coaching, establishing trust, selecting a coaching model appropriate to the situation, and determining shared goals for a coaching relationship. Participants apply these competencies to real-world school contexts. Clinical experience hours required. Pre-requisite(s): None. Co-requisite(s): None. 2 semester hours
