Mentoring and Coaching Models Reading

Mentoring and Coaching Models



What is coaching 
Coaching is to help develop both myself and partner to be better reflective educators and improve learning outcomes for all. It is about share effective and meaningful practices.  

Key Points from Reading
  • There are four different types of coaching models. 
    • Collegial Coaching 
    • Technical Coaching
    • Challenge Coaching
    • Team Coaching   
  • Coaching is built upon trusting both the mentor and mentoree. 
    • Based on supporting further growth and development, not to judge others and teacher ability.
A coaching model which I will be focussing on is Collegial Coaching. Collegial coaching has 3 stages. 
  • A pre-conference - discussing with mentor what is to be observed and lesson focus. 
  • An observation - Observing teaching/learning/strategies as discussed in pre-conference.  
  • A post-conference - is discussing the outcome of the lesson which should be lead by the teacher observed. Open ended questions should be used to help the teacher observed to be a critical reflector identifying next learning steps. 
    • Open ended questions to help lead discussions:
      • How did you feel the lesson that you taught today went?
      • What do you think would happen if?
      • What might you see happening in your classroom if?  
  • To be an effective coach it is important to develop these key skills:
    • Conversation skills
    • listening skills
    • nonverbal language
    • giving constructive feedback
    • developing trusting relationships

Take away from reading
From this reading I am going to be using the Collegial Coaching model, and focus on developing open ended questioning to encourage mentoree to share their reflective feedback from lesson taught.

Literacy Circles Reflection

Literacy Circles Reflection This week was the first week using the Literacy Circles reading programme. I have started this off as whole class to familiarise students with each role.  Worked Well:  Students understood the role of the " Discussion Director " and " Word Master "   Next Time:  More modelling and clear explicit instructions for each role (especially the role of the Summariser).  Asking for questions before students move into tasks.  Giving examples about how to successfully carryout this role.

Prominent Taranaki Māori Leaders

This term as apart of our Te Reo Māori Unit, Tangata Rongonui, we have been exploring prominent Taranaki Māori Leaders (Te Whiti o Rongomai, Tohu Kakahi, Te Ua Haumene, Te Rangi Hiroa, Tā Maui Pomare, Wiremu Kingi, and Titokowaru).  Learners were given 20 minutes to research facts on a given leader (D.O.B, Education, Job, Family and Iwi connections for example). After this time, each student was placed into collaborative groups to share valuable information about their Tangata Rongonui. Every learner was extremely engaged in this process and were overwhelmed by the knowledge held by these Prominent Leaders of Taranaki.  It is pivotal that we teach our tamariki about prominent leaders within each rohe (region) of Taranaki as Aotearoa's culture and history.
