Join the Region IV Assistive Technology Consortium as they welcome Sharon Thomas from the Instructional Coaching Group for this engaging learning opportunity. Neither teachers nor coaches want to waste time or find themselves in unsuccessful conversations. Helping adults sometimes is often more difficult than helping students. Why do adults resist? This workshop will focus on why helping for change is complex and what research says about what we can do to lessen resistance to change. There will be a discussion about the Partnership Principles: Equality, Choice, Voice, Dialogue, Reflection, Praxis, and Reciprocity. Additionally, suggestions will be provided for how participants can continue to learn and improve as coaches and/or leaders with a coaching mindset.
