Becca and Dr. Chris Jones co-host another episode where they discuss the challenges that come when instructional coaches and school leaders are "naturally gifted" in certain areas. Here are the highlights:
The Ladder of Conscious Competence
- Four stages: Conscious/Unconscious Competence & Incompetence.
- This can explain why there’s a lack of knowledge transfer at your school
- Why having unconscious competence makes skills hard to teach.
The Peter Principle in Education
- People are promoted beyond their skillset (shifting from teaching children to teaching adults).
- Success in one role doesn’t guarantee success in another.
- Effective leadership requires a balance of three key skill sets: technical, conceptual, and human
Coaching Missteps to Avoid
- Avoid coaching people to mimic your personality or style (Focus on enhancing the coachee’s unique strengths.)
- Avoid sharing personal success stories excessively ("When I was a teacher, I...").
- Ignoring the critical need for developing adult-learning skills.
