El Liderazgo consiste en dar lo mejor de ti. Y construir con lo mejor de todos y todas. Pensar lo contrario es de otro siglo. Es antiguo que no viejo y no reciclable.

Educational Leadership | Leveraging Teacher Leadership | EL Study Guide

Educational Leadership | Leveraging Teacher Leadership | EL Study Guide | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Teachers lead learning in their classrooms every day, but teacher leadership often extends beyond the classroom. Teachers lead their colleagues in professional learning and growth. They lead their communities in bringing change to schools. They might focus on leading within their schools and localities, or they might use social media to share their ideas with fellow educators around the world. But such leadership can be a challenge.


Administrators and policymakers need to listen to teacher voices and give teachers room to lead. This issue of Educational Leadership looks at how teachers are leading today and considers how schools can best leverage the leadership skills of teachers.

Teachers leading beyond the classroom talks a lot to the 'space & trust' administrators accord teachers - as well 'triggering leadership-DNA' amongst teacher ranks. The latter needs training as well as coaching & mentoring

On Educational Coaching, Mentoring & High-Impact Learning

On Educational Coaching, Mentoring & High-Impact Learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Coaching is a difference-maker in education.  Think of the mindset evident in high-performing athletic teams, chess teams, even actors and other entertainers. Content providers are valuable, but that is not what makes learning organizations distinct, especially not those that seek to reach and provide a high-quality education to a full spectrum of learners.

.

The same thing is true as we continue to implement things like competency-based education models. Many celebrate the way CBE can reduce the cost of college degrees, increasing access and opportunity, and addressing critical workforce needs. However, if cost reduction happens at the expense of great coaching and mentoring, I am concerned that we will make little progress in the democratization of education.

.

The “haves and have nots” of education depend largely upon the prerequisite skills needed to take advantage of newer and emerging learning environments ranging from CBE to MOOCs, self-directed learning to self-organized learning environments....

How Provocative dare you be? - Coaching through Change Problems

How Provocative dare you be? - Coaching through Change Problems | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Provocative coaching is a great tool during change processes. Dare you disrupt your client to help them find a resourceful response to the change problem?

 

“Content is verbal and already known. I advise you to not get drawn into the story the client tells. Instead, look at how they are and who they are. The information you need to help them get unstuck is IN the process.

 

Points excerpted:

Look for nonverbal cues. Don’t always listen to what the client says!Keep your attention with them completely: notice their nonverbal communication, and their patterns of telling their story, their patterns of behaving. The key is to interrupt their patterns – to distract them – to take them out of their current state of mind – to help them see the situation with fresh eyes and wake up and learn.”“When you’re thinking what to do next – you’re away from the present. Stay aware in the here and now with your client.”The three demons that jeopardize a person’s effectiveness: muscle tension, inner noise and tunnel vision. 

To serve the client and nothing but the client – we must provoke a resourceful response – to let them find and appreciate what is true and what is helpful in their change process.

Using a coaching approach is another helpful tool to support change implementation beyond the many barriers of risk, politeness and doing the usual thing.  This post will provoke a new perspective, through 5 minute coaching practice, so you may "think different" about your next change interaction with your clients.

Why school leaders need the support of specific feedback to improve schools

Why school leaders need the support of specific feedback to improve schools | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Every school has its own set of problems, there’s no denying it. Many school leaders really value feedback from their teachers about areas for improvement. Even when leaders may not be seeking feedback, there is always a strong chance that someone will tell them what they think, or what “a group of people think”, or even what “everybody” thinks. In many schools, processes have been put in place to support the gathering of feedback to assist school improvement.

6 Unexpected Traits Exemplified by Great Leaders

6 Unexpected Traits Exemplified by Great Leaders | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Many people are tempted to believe that true leaders are born not made, but when it comes to leaders of historical importance, that adage rarely seems true

.

The best leaders are those whose toughest critics still think highly of their person and character. Being a person who is likeable requires that a person practice honesty and justice in all matters, even when those matters are unpleasant or cost him personally.

.

Great leaders are made, not born, and if you hope to be one someday, practice these six traits.

Find the Coaching in Criticism

Find the Coaching in Criticism | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Your growth depends on your ability to pull value from criticism in spite of your natural responses and on your willingness to seek out even more advice and coaching from bosses, peers, and subordinates.


They may be good or bad at providing it, or they may have little time for it—but you are the most important factor in your own development. If you’re determined to learn from whatever feedback you get, no one can stop you.
