The key to school transformation is in simple actions, day in and day out, by all stakeholders.
Based on the book, Coaching Conversations: Transforming Schools One Conversation at a time by Cheliotes and Reilly, this session goes into depth on the foundational element of committed listening.
In this session, you will identify your own listening behaviors using a listening inventory and you will learn the components of committed listening: verbal and nonverbal communication, valuing silence, letting go of unproductive patterns of listening and listening with out an obligation to act.
To set you up for success, you will also create an action step to drive your practice forward.
Remaining sessions for the Coaching Conversation Series include:
Session #2- Powerful Speaking and Questioning (Nov. 19, 8pmEST)
Session #3- Reflective Feedback (Nov. 25, 12pmEST)
