Leaders as Coaches• Good coaches don’t tell teachers what to do. • But they are comfortable using data from an
observation, or comments made by the teacher, to provide feedback.
• All feedback is precise and non-judgmental. • Good coaches are always open to the
teacher’s point-of-view. (Knight, 2011)
