Coaching Teachers
Change is difficult, even when we are convinced it’s worth the effort. If we expect teachers to change they need clear explanations or evidence of how the changes will benefit them or their students. Meaningful change is most likely to occur when coaches take into consideration the differences in teachers’ beliefs, feelings and personalities.
Coaching teachers will usually involve the following:
- Applying the latest neuroscience research and the theory of personality type to understand differences in how people take in information and make decisions.
- Using personality theory to understand the different teaching and learning styles
- Identfiying teacher beliefs that can block change
- Understanding instructional strategies that promote effective learning for different personality types
- Designing curriculum or unit of work that suits the learning needs of the students, as well as the teaching style of the teacher.
- Classroom management strategies, particularly effective ways of dealing with dysfunctional or disruptive behaviour.
