I liked how he said we do not have to be their best friends, but show them that we care about them. Keeping the end goal in mind- everything for the benefits of my students, is what I have to strive towards no matter what people tell me what I should do instead. The coach and the teacher relationship is really important for a new aspiring teacher like me, I hope to have a coach during my student teaching years to guide and support me through my early years.

I agree with building a relationship between the teacher and the coach. In order for the teacher to feel comfortable with the coach, they must feel like it is a person who cares and wants to help you grow as an educator. Without the good relationship the teacher may feel that the coach is there to find things wrong. RANU BHAT Feb 14, 2018 6:33pm

We also need to build relationship with our colleagues and seniors who can serve as our mentors,observe them use their strategies both for teaching and building that rapport with students Such tricks that work come in handy to new teachers RANU BHAT Feb 14, 2018 6:29pm

Yes ,it is very important that you build relationship with students,they should know that your each endavour is to see that they graduate and succeed in life as well. Robyn Rehmann Feb 8, 2018 8:03pm

Josh Parker is an accomplished instructional coach and recognized outstanding teacher in the state of Maryland. He begins by focusing on one of the most salient points of coaching. It is imperative that there is a strong, healthy, trusting relationship between the coach and teacher. As a principal coach my motto is "They have to know that you care, before they care what you know." The relationship is developed over time and based on trust, transparency and open-honest sharing. I especially appreciated the closing comment "The relationship is the mortar that you can build the bricks of instruction on." The role of the coach is one of supporting the teacher in development of quality instructional practice to support all students. There are times when the coach needs to move to the consultant and/or collaborative roles but it is important to make it clear when you move to these different roles. The model that Mr Parker was using was not clear as he was giving advice during the teaching moment, providing feedback and direction the majority of the time. I wondered if it might be helpful for the coach to ask questions to assist the teacher in the process of reflection and growth to examine his practice. Providing data and guiding an analysis of the data is another method of supporting the teacher in defining goals for growth. It is important as a coach that you focus on supporting professional growth for the teacher within a transparent. respectful and growth driven model.
