At the CENTER of Partnership Principles?
The more I study effective characteristics of coaching relationships especially focusing on the partnership principles, the more deeply I sense a central focus. That focus is simply RESPECT. I realize developing and maintaining partnership principles are anything but simple, yet each principle and effective characteristic has a foundation in RESPECT. The RESPECT must also flow in a circle between everyone involved in the coaching relationships in order for the relationship to provide desired results. My findings combined with the definitions of Partnership Principles from Jim Knight can be summarized by the following:
R reflection - throughout the entire process
E equality - team style environment
S speak together - dialogue
P praxis - ability to work together in implementing learning in real-world classroom
E everyone/ reciprocity - learning together
C choice - from all sides of the partnership
T teachers' voice
