“The coach’s job is to help the client get out of the habit of putting out fires and instead to invest time and energy into installing automatic sprinkler systems and removing fuel and sources of ignition” (Bloom, Castagna, Warren, and Moir, 2005, p. 106). To coach for system change, we must start by cataloguing the fires.”

“Most transformation programs satisfy themselves with shifting the same old furniture about in the same old room. But real transformation requires that we redesign the room itself. Perhaps even blow up the old room. It requires that we change the thinking behind our thinking, (Danah Zohar, 1997, p. 243).”

Weekend Ed. Quotes ~ February 7

“Facilitative coaching supports (teacher) clients to learn new ways of thinking and being through reflection, analysis, observation, and experimentation; this awareness influences their behaviors. The coach does not share expert knowledge; she works to build on the client’s existing skills, knowledge, and beliefs and helps the client to construct new skills, knowledge, and beliefs that will form the basis for future actions.”
~Elena Aguilar, The Art of Coaching: Effective Strategies for School Transformation.

Weekend Ed. Quotes ~ February 1

Most of the most brilliant people can operate and flourish using all facets of their intelligence. They may be labeled as oddities… until we buy their iPhones, Tesla, books from their printing presses, and food from their irrigation innovations! Be sure to nurture the creative and awesome in everyone!
