Leadership-focused coaching: An uplifting approach for supporting aspiring leaders
Annual Meeting of the University Council for Educational Administration, (Denver, CO, 2017)
2017
Abstract
Educational leadership professors prepare aspiring leaders by providing uplifting opportunities to connect theory and practice. This paper proposes a research-based model called leadership-focused coaching, an approach to support graduate students in developing and honing instructional leadership skills and responsibilities (Gray, 2016). This paper addresses the shift in principal preparation programs from theory-to-practice to a knowledge-to-practice approach over the last 20 years (Browne-Ferrigno, 2007; Browne-Ferrigno & Muth, 2004; Cunningham, 2007; Cunningham & Sherman, 2008; Daresh, 2004). While there are numerous models for coaching teachers, we offer this model for aspiring and new instructional leaders of schools.
Keywords: leadership preparation, university-school partnerships, leadership field experience, leadership-focused coaching, and leadership mentoring
