Evocative Coaching with Bob & Megan Tschannen- Moran

Bob & Megan Tschannen-Moran, founders of the Center for School Transformation, discuss how they train coaches, teachers, school leaders, mentors, program directors, and other educators using their approach from their book Evocative Coaching: Transforming Schools One Conversation At A Time. They discuss Evocative Coaching as a person-centered, no-fault, strengths-based model for supporting educator's professional learning through a four step model:1) Story Listening, 2) Expressing Empathy, 3) Appreciative Inquiry, 4) Design Thinking

They share the unique aspect of Evocative Coaching which is their very concrete and intentional strategy for teaching coaches to expand their empathy skills and how to respectfully embrace the feelings and underlying needs of the coachee in the learning process.
