It's about the Questions
Bearwald, Ronald R.
Educational Leadership, v69 n2 p74-77 Oct 2011
The best coaching partnerships are built on conversation and listening, and they are not built on a coach giving answers to a mentee. Ronald Bearward explains how coaches can use questions to help mentees find answers for themselves. Effective questions lead to greater reflection and solutions that teachers can use now and in the future.
