Evocative Coaching Summary

Evocative Coaching: Transforming Schools One Conversation at a Time by Megan Tschannen-Moran

Cultivate emotional intelligence and eliminate barriers to coaching success

Challenging times demand we change how we teach, and research shows that coaching is the best way to bring about robust change in instructional practice. The second edition of Evocative Coaching helps skillful coaches develop trust and unearth the values and fears that both motivate and block teachers from achieving all that they hope.

Using the LEAD (listen, emphasize, appreciate, and design) process, Evocative Coaches take a partnership role, ask questions, and co-create designs. This person-centered, no-fault, strengths-based model is grounded in adult learning theory and positive psychology and emphasizes the emotional intelligence needed to establish trust. The hands-on guide for coaching practitioners works with other coaching models and

* is grounded in extensive research

* includes real-life vignettes and sample dialogues that bring important principles to life

* provides tools designed to invite reflection and help coaches continuously improve

With evocative coaching, educators can rise to new heights of ambition and ability and discover new solutions to the complex challenges they face.


Evocative Coaching Reviews

Evocative Coaching is a refreshing approach that will get many coaches excited. It dials down to the basic building block of the coaching process that sometimes gets forgotten - the construction of a trusting relationship between the coach and their learning partner. It fosters positivity, amplifies current strengths, and focuses on human connection with a learning partner/coachee, which is a change from the data-crunching, nuts-and-bolts setup of some coaching styles.This is an approach that will help instructional coaches to re-focus and work on their interpersonal skills and the methods they use within their coaching sessions. -- Mike Melie
In Evocative Coaching, the authors model how a coach can stay completely respectful of a teacher while also continuing to find ways to support a teacher in experimenting with and implementing stronger practices. Using the LEAD Model, along with helpful sample coaching conversations and real-life vignettes, authors have created a logical and intuitive resource.

-- Kendra Hanzlik

This book is a must read. It is a must read because it shares wisdom and big heart of the authors. Throughout the book they echo the sentiments of Emerson.. to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.


-- Jim Thompson
Evocative Coaching presents the next level of coaching and speaks more to how to get a teacher to find the answers within themselves and provide the space for a teacher to explore while taking risks within their instructional practices.
-- Frank Chiki

About Megan Tschannen-Moran

Megan Tschannen-Moran (Ph.D., The Ohio State University) is a Professor of Educational Leadership at the William & Mary School of Education. Inspired by her fourteen years of experience as the founder and principal of a school serving primarily low-income and minority students in a distressed neighborhood of Chicago, she is motivated to work at the intersection of theory and practice so that schools grow in their capacity to serve all students well. The coaching model presented in this book sits squarely at that intersection. Megan's scholarly research focuses on relationships of trust in school settings and how these are related to important outcomes such as the collective efficacy beliefs of a school faculty, teacher professionalism, and student achievement. Her book Trust Matters: Leadership for Successful Schools (2nd Ed.) (2014) reports the experience of three principals and the consequences of their successes and failures to build trust. Another line of research explores school climate through the Vibrant School Scale that assesses the degree to which a school fosters enlivened minds, emboldened voice, and playful learning. Bob Tschannen-Moran (M. Div., Yale University) served as the President of LifeTrek Coaching International and as CEO of the Center for School Transformation (www.schooltransformation.com).
