Coaching for Educator Wellness

Differentiating coaching practices for beginning and veteran teachers can be a challenge. In Coaching for educator wellness: A guide to supporting new and experienced teachers, author Tina H Boogren provides instructional and self-care strategies that coaches and mentors can implement to support all teachers. Boogren draws from her extensive coaching experience to share interactive activities and easy-to-replicate strategies for highly effective coaching to get educators from where they are to where they want to be.

F–12 instructional leaders and coaches will:

• review ways to practise self-care and instil a commitment to self-care in others
• explore strategies for differentiating coaching practices for new, new-to-the-building and experienced teachers
• see how to match the different types of support to each teacher’s needs during each phase of the school year
• use tools to help support all teachers in increasing their expertise
• answer reflection questions to further their understanding.
