Designing, implementing, and leading coaching in schools is complex. Gaining a deeper understanding of the role of context, culture and the change process can help guide our development as coaches, the sustainability of our coaching programs, and how to use coaching to support other educational initiatives. In this breakout session, Trista will share what she has learned from two decades of research and practice leading change and systemic change and introduce the 5 A's model developed with her CollectivED colleagues Dr. Rachel Lofthouse and Jasen Booten for their new book "Coaching with Purpose: Learning Encounters for Educational Change". Participants will explore the model's 5 dynamic phases of educational change in detail by discussing coaching case studies from the book and reflecting on their own coaching experiences and contexts.
Participants will:- learn the 5A's model that can be used to examine coaching in their own context- gain practice using the five dynamic phases of educational change to examine coaching programs - connect with other participants interested in coaching, context, culture, and change.
