What is coaching?
Coaching is a "thought-provoking and creative process that inspires a person to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership" (International Coaching Federation). A coach can help keep you focused on your goals.
In the K-12 context, coaching is a "form of professional development that brings out the best in people , uncovers strengths and skills, builds effectives teams, cultivates compassion, and builds emotionally resilient educators" (Aguilar, 2013).
