Differentiated Coaching for Educators

Differentiation: Adjusting Your Style to Meet the Needs of Those You Lead, Teach and Coach!

Differentiated Coaching recognises the differences in what each educator needs before changing classroom practices. Our books and workshops give principals, district personnel and instructional coaches the tools they need to differentiate adult learning, modeling for teachers what their students also need.

Hargreaves, Fullen, Dewey and others all conclude that changing a teacher's classroom practices often involves changing who that teacher is. Differentiated coaching makes that possible while motivating the teacher to take active responsibility for professional growth. Learn how the theory of personality type, popularized through the MBTIŽ, can tie together such diverse staff development topics as differentiation, classroom management, culturally responsive teaching, instructional coaching, and collaboration. For an overview of the value of using personality type theory in schools, download any or all of the following:

Teachers can change when they understand what they do best. Learn about a research-based theory that you can use as a consistent framework for:
--Learning styles
--Differentiation
--Helping teachers collaborate
--Improving classroom management
--Culturally responsive teaching.
The framework of personality type isn't a panacea but a robust tool for examining how who we are influences how we teach--and how to reach those who learn differently.

Collaborative teams, professional learning communities, distributed leadership, effective principalship--dozens of publications tell you that this is what schools need. Differentiated School Leadership shows you how, by using the theory of personality type as a schoolwide language for communication, collaboration and change. Filled with examples, staff development activities, and other resources that allow leaders to plan for embedded staff development, this is a hands-on handbook for developing effective leadership throughout a school--or throughout a district.
