Leading independent schools is becoming more and more challenging in an increasingly complex world. Well-intentioned plans often fall short of creating the necessary changes required to address today’s challenges. What is needed for today’s independent school leader is an on-going partnership in the development of specific action steps with the supportive accountability to implement these steps. This is why school leadership coaching today (often referred to as executive coaching) is more important than ever.
We have developed a comprehensive package to best support school leaders through the coaching process. This includes:
• using the Hogan Assessment to identify the leader’s specific strengths and challenges,
• meeting via video-conferencing twice a month for five months,
• additional resources that support the action steps,
• and ongoing email support during the coaching period.
Requests for coaching can be made to Rod Chamberlain at Consulting@SouthernTeachers.com. This will initiate a conversation that will address any questions by the school leader and facilitate the scheduling of the Hogan Assessment to start the coaching process. Together, Rod and the school leader will work together over the next five months to optimize strengths and address challenges through increased self-awareness and enhanced leadership practices.
Rod, who has served in leadership positions in independent schools in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Hawai'i, and North Carolina, provides coaching services for Southern Teachers’ member schools. He brings three essential components to this coaching:
• proven independent school leadership,
• International Coaching Federation training (the largest coaching certification organization in the world), and
• Hogan Assessment certification.
Rod partners with independent school leaders to improve their results.Are you interested in becoming a coach yourself? Please contact Rod at Consulting@SouthernTeachers.com
