Coaching Principals Is a Calling and a Commitment
Psencik, Kay
Learning Professional, v40 n5 p10-12 Oct 2019
Coaching principals is a unique role. It is not facilitation, mentoring, or modeling. It involves the powerful skill of becoming a sincere thought partner with the coachee. Coaching principals is a calling and a commitment. It's a calling because it is humbling and other-centered. It's a commitment because seeing new practices emerge in principals takes time. Author Kay Psencik has coached hundreds of principals from upstate New York to Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Galveston County, Texas. Here she shares some of the lessons she has learned.
