What's the difference between swimming and drowning?

Colleagues,

MVP: 5-minute coaching can help you tell whether someone is learning or drowning
 
If I’m learning to swim, give me feedback.
 
If I’m drowning, throw me a life preserver!
 
The same holds true for those we serve, but it can be hard to tell the difference between learning and drowning, especially with people who are new their jobs.
 
Is the new teacher trying to figure out how to align activities with learning standards, or is he just throwing out activities because he is overwhelmed with all the facets of the job?
 
It can be hard to tell just by watching, which is why being present is so important.
 
5-minute coaching session?
 
  1. I’m so glad to have you in our school!
  2. Your first year of teaching is going fast, what’s going well?
  3. What have been the biggest surprises?
  4. Is there anything you would have done differently?
  5. I appreciate you sharing, and all of the hard work that you’ve invested into our students.
 
In that five-minute conversation, you will know whether they are drowning or learning to swim.
 
Oh, and since we are talking about five minutes, remember our new guide Be a Better Leader in 5 Minutes a Day! Click here to download.
 
Today’s intention: Use a 5-minute coaching session to check in on someone new!
 
Cheers!

Frederick
