Principals Rediscover Their Joy and Purpose through Coaching
Psencik, Kay
Learning Professional, v43 n2 p56-60 Apr 2022
It can be hard for leaders to find inspiration and joy when times are as stressful as they have been in the last two years. Coaching can help principals step back and rediscover their motivation or find new sources of inspiration. Coaching is a powerful approach to assist principals in being leaders of high-performing schools where students and staff thrive. More than just mentoring or shared brainstorming, coaching helps principals see new possibilities for themselves, their schools, and those they serve. Through inquiry and reflection, coach and coachee explore new ideas for meeting today's challenges. This article discusses key themes about principals' current needs for support and opportunities for coaching right now.
