A Toolkit for Coaching Teachers
Hannah M. Scott
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Morehead State University
What motivates people? Daniel Pink explored this concept his book Drive (2009) and found purpose, autonomy, mastery, and connectedness are key ingredients to motivating people and increasing personal satisfaction. The purpose of this capstone is to introduce a coaching model for administrators to use that complements the existing teacher evaluation system and provides a vehicle for systemic coaching of teachers that builds capacity. Currently, school districts are only required to have a certified evaluation plan (CEP). The CEP committee collaboratively creates the evaluation plan for all school staff and the school board approves the plan. The KY Professional Growth and Effectiveness System (PGES) may vary across each district but includes components of the Kentucky Framework for Teaching and some type of formative feedback that is intended to provide opportunities for teachers to grow from the evaluation process. However, districts are not required to engage in any coaching of teachers. This literature review will highlight the shortcomings of our current evaluation system, including counting solely on the components of an evaluation system to improve teacher quality or change instructional practices. An extensive overview of existing research on coaching models, techniques, and approaches as well as coach and coachee roles will be examined. The culmination of this exhaustive review of the literature, combined with the researcher's experience, was A Toolkit for Coaching Teachers designed for school administrators to use in conjunction with the teacher evaluation system. A Toolkit for Coaching Teachers will provide opportunities for purpose, autonomy, mastery and connectedness, while the evaluation system provides the accountability required by law. School administrators will learn how and when to move from the role of an evaluator to a coach and vice versa. The target audience for A Toolkit for Coaching Teachers will be all Kentucky school administrators. The contents of the book will be provided online via an open source website and available upon request digitally. Widely respected organizations, such as the Kentucky Association of School Administrators, will advertise A Toolkit for Coaching Teachers as a free resource to draw members to their site or organization.
