Why is trust-building important in coaching? What coaching communication skills can be used when reflecting about your coaching experiences? //

**<span style="color: #ff8040; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Getting Started ** <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">In this activity you'll begin to answer these questions as you: **<span style="color: #004080; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Part A: Coaches Roles ** <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Coaches are asked to take many different roles and therefore must use many different communication and collaboration skills to meet the needs of participating teachers. These skills build a foundation of trust which is essential to successful coaching. Coaching roles include:
 * <span style="color: #5c5d60; display: block; line-height: 11.15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo5; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Review coaching roles.

Conflict can help groups make better decisions if they focus on issues and problems and not people. Coaches can help groups resolve conflict and work more effectively by: **<span style="color: #004080; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Part C: Communication Skills ** <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">The skills outlined below can be used in a variety of situations, such as collaborating with a teacher to plan a lesson or debriefing the outcomes of an activity you taught together.
 * <span style="color: #5c5d60; display: block; line-height: 11.15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l5 level1 lfo6; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">**<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Facilitator **<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> - Planning and leading meetings, activities, and staff development in one-on-one, small group, or large group situations.

This is brought about through reflection and relationships. This role requires coaches to step back and look at their relationship with collaborating teachers.

 * <span style="color: #5c5d60; display: block; line-height: 11.15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo8; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">**<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Paraphrasing **<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> - Lets the other person know you are trying to understand them and value their thoughts. Restating what was said indicates acceptance of the ideas and offers encouragement to continue. Try not to use the "I" word when paraphrasing. Instead use "So." Using "I" means you are taking ownership of the ideas and are not honoring the speaker's thoughts.
 * <span style="color: #5c5d60; display: block; line-height: 11.15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo8; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">**<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Questioning **<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> - Coaches use two kinds of questioning strategies when coaching:
 * <span style="color: #5c5d60; display: block; line-height: 11.15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo8; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 1.0in;">**<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Clarifying **<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> questions: These are factual questions asked to help the speaker be more specific and add clarity to the conversation. These questions do not require a lot of thought to answer since they are basically factual. Clarifying questions ask things like, "How was the information presented? How many students were in the group? What learning standard was used?"
 * <span style="color: #5c5d60; display: block; line-height: 11.15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo8; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 1.0in;">**<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Probing **<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">questions: These questions require the speaker to really think before answering. They are often prefaced with a paraphrasing statement and do not offer a solution. These questions help the speaker focus. Probing questions ask things like, "What might you do next? What did you learn from doing that? How do you feel it went?"

**<span style="color: #004080; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Reflect on Roles and Trust ** //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">We understand that communication skills are important to building relationships, but you may have wondered why we have spent so much time talking about them in the Peer Coaching Program. Let's take a moment to discuss why. //
 * <span style="color: #ff8040; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Introduction **

**<span style="color: #004080; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Part A: Coaching and Trust ** <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Characteristics of successful coaching include respect, cooperation, personal regard and trust. A dictionary might define trust as “reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, or truth of someone.” Previous coaches reported that they were able to do more collaboration activities as the year progressed. They felt this was due to an increased level of trust between the coach and collaborating teacher.
 * <span style="color: #004080; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Part B: Behaviors That Build Trust in the Workplace **

**<span style="color: #004080; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Part C: Think-Pair-Share ** <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 7pt;">1. <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Spend a few minutes considering how the Trust Model and the Behaviors That Build Trust can help to answer these questions: <span style="display: block; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1in; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo3; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> o <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Why is trust critical to coaches? <span style="display: block; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1in; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo3; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> o <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">What can coaches do to engender trust? <span style="display: block; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 7pt;">2. <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Turn to a partner and share your ideas. <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Review the following scenario and think about the ways this coach is trying to build trust with her collaborating teacher. Keeping in mind the list above, which behaviors that build trust does the coach demonstrate? <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Scenario: <span style="color: #5c5d60; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Ms. Kim works with a fourth grade team at her school. She always leaves her door open to encourage her colleagues to feel free to come in, and if she is busy she acknowledges their presence and arranges to meet them as soon as possible. She sends the team regular emails with Internet resources she feels they may be able to use and then encourages them to have candid conversations about what kinds of skills and support they may need to use these resources in their classrooms. She visits their classrooms often to model lessons, co-teach or just observe. The teachers feel comfortable with Ms. Kim because they know she has knowledge to share and will not be judgmental about their abilities.
