Trusting Relationship

Front: Coaching centers on cultivating a trusting, collegial relationship between the coach and teacher. Coaches should be clear about their role (especially relative to evaluation), the kinds of information they collect and share with others, and the kinds of information that is kept confidential between the teacher and the coach.

Back: Work with the teacher to address complex issues related to teaching and learning, and provide feedback with honesty and care. Be clear about the information that you will share with others and how you keep the rest confidential. Address difficult classroom issues and provide critical feedback with honesty and care.

Reflection Question: How does this action/strategy/intervention build or maintain our trusting relationship?
