QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN PREPARING FOR HARD CONVERSATIONS
Question Implications What’s hard about this conversation?
What role am I needing to play? Is this a coaching role?
What’s coming up for me?
Can I manage the feelings that are coming up? How will I manage
them? Is it worth it?
What’s the benefit for the client, for the school, for students if
I manage my feelings so that I can have this conversation?
Who could help me manage them? Where is the need for Did I (the
coach) determine that this conversation needs this hard
conversation to happen? coming from? Is someone else asking that I
have this conversation? If Who wants it? so, is it an appropriate
conversation for me to have? Or Who is requesting it? does the hard
conversation need to be with the person
asking me to have a hard conversation with someone else?
What data do I have that indicates the need for the hard
conversation?
What’s the purpose for this conversation?
Is the agenda coming from me? How can I connect my purpose to the
client’s goals and
areas for growth? What do I hope the Why is this a conversation
worth having? outcomes are? What might be possible out of this
conversation?
What might be the best possible outcome? What could be the
worst?
Which skills will I need to use in this conversation?
Would it help me to use the coaching lenses? Which stances will be
most helpful? Which questions will be most helpful?
How will I prepare for How will I script my questions? this
conversation? How will I get my mind and heart into an
effective
place? Who can support me?

Creating Entry Points
*************************************************
Notice the language of the teacher and identify the thinking behind
it.
Be alert for: Generalizations (always, never, all, everyone)
Rule-based language (should, can’t, have to, must) Judgements
(wrong, bad, poor, weak, lazy) Comparison (better, less, more)
Victim language (blame, fault) Unspecified nouns (they, people,
students, parents)

A Framework for Differentiated Mentoring and Coaching Support
Consulting / Collaborating / Coaching (The 3Cs) at a Glance
In their book Mentoring Matters: A Practical Guide to
Learning-Focused Relationships Laura Lipton & Bruce Wellman
provide a practical framework for mentors to consider as they work
with (and learn from) beginning teachers. The chart below provides
an at a glance guide to the 3Cs of mentorship adapted with
permission from their work. While these 3Cs are helpful as a frame,
effective mentors demonstrate flexibility of stance and role based
on the needs of the beginning teacher. Mentoring relationships that
flourish are reciprocal – all parties learn and grow!
Consultant Offering Support and Providing Resources à Mentor shares
key information about
logistics, school culture, students, curriculum, and teaching
practices
à Beyond simple advice, a consultant provides the “why,” “what,”
and “how” of their thinking
à Credible voice / Use of pronoun “I” / Phrases like “it’s
important to”…. “keep in mind that”
CAUTIONS/EXAMPLES We tend to default to this stance / Overuse can
build dependency on the Mentor THINK ALOUD: In addition to giving a
suggestion or providing a solution, add the thinking that led to
it, the considerations that were taken into account and the reasons
for the final choice
OFFER A MENU: Support the beginning teacher’s capacity for
decision-making by explicitly offering a menu of possible solutions
or choices, and discussing each
PRODUCE AN IDEA BANK: Create an idea bank the beginning teacher can
refer to, such as a series of tips on classroom management
Collaborator Creating Challenge and Encouraging Growth • Mentor and
beginning teacher “co-develop”
strategies and approaches • 50/50 pattern of interaction and idea
production • Confident, approachable voice / Use of pronoun
“we” / Phrases like “let’s think about”…. “how might we”
CAUTIONS?EXAMPLES Mentors need to ensure collaboration is authentic
and they don’t take over and assume the consultant stance CO-PLAN /
CO-TEACH: Work with the beginning teacher to create a lesson or
unit of study and extend the collaboration by teaching
together
BECOME STUDY PARTNERS: Learn together with the beginning teacher
about a new instructional methodology or engage in article or book
study, followed by a sharing of experiences in the classroom
EXPLORE CASE STUDIES: Use case studies as a context for dialogue
about professional practice, to provide a meaningful learning
experience for both the mentor and the beginning teacher
Coach Facilitating Professional Vision
Þ Mentor supports the beginning teacher’s internal idea production
through inquiry and paraphrase
Þ Ultimate aim is to develop the beginning teacher’s internal
resources for self-coaching and independence
Þ Approachable voice, attending fully / Use of pronoun “you”
Þ Questions like “what might be some ways to?”.... “given all that
you know, what options are you considering?”
CAUTIONS/EXAMPLES Stance can cause frustration if beginning teacher
lacks internal resources for idea generation
REMAIN NON-JUDGMENTAL: Maintain an effective coaching practice by
ensuring that judgements are made only by the beginning teacher as
he or she plans, reflects, problem-solves and makes choices
INQUIRE: Ask the beginning teacher about successes, concerns or
issues he or she wants to discuss, using open- ended questions
designed to encourage thinking and invite choice
REFLECT ON GOALS: Engage in conversations focusing on the beginning
teacher’s learning interests and goals, balancing support and
challenge by marking successes and articulating new arenas for
learning

• Use Protocol
Problem Of Practice
A problem of practice is a dilemma that you face in your work that
you
cannot easily resolve.
Presenter: Presents a dilemma for the group to consider
Facilitator: Keeps time and keeps process on track; may also
consult if small group
Consultants: Ask questions of the presenter and make
suggestions
Time: 25-45 minutes
1. Presenter provides an overview of the dilemma they are facing.
Include a
brief summary and a framing question. (3-5 minutes)
2. Consultants ask clarifying questions of the presenter. Questions
that can be
answered briefly and factually. (3-5 minutes)
3. Consultants ask probing questions of the presenter. Questions
that are more
in-depth and should help the presenter think differently about
their dilemma.
Avoid making suggestions at this time. (5-10 minutes)
4. Consultants discuss the dilemma. The group more fully analyzes
the
dilemma and can make suggestions to the presenter. Presenter
remains silent
but can take notes. (10-15 minutes)
5. Presenter summarizes what they heard and how their thinking has
evolved
through the process. (2-5 minutes)
6. Facilitator leads a brief reflection and debrief of the process.

Turning Resistant Teachers into Resilient Teachers
Jessica Bohn
Resistant teachers can have a profound effect on the school climate
and culture in both positive and
negative ways. In the book Leading in a Culture of Change (2007),
Michael Fullan says resisters deserve
respect both because they present ideas we might otherwise miss and
because their influence is crucial
to navigating the politics of implementation. By using situational
leadership, the ability to fluidly
interchange among a variety of leadership styles as the situation
demands, administrators can shape
teacher resistance into resilience and develop powerful partners in
school initiatives. Goleman (2004)
says situational leadership can mitigate the negative and enhance
the positive forces influencing school
climate. Effective school leaders know when to use a different
leadership approach based on the
behaviors and personalities of their teachers.
Types of Teacher Behaviors
I have found that resistant teachers usually fall into one of the
following categories:
Those who believe administration will not help or understand
them.
Those who don't have confidence in their teaching and don't know
how to improve.
Those who prefer traditional methods and believe change would
require too much work.
Those who lack the desire or motivation to improve.
Most reluctant teachers fall into the first three categories and
can be developed into resilient teachers.
The fourth category is much more rare and requires a steadfast
administrator. In the next sections, I
outline some ways I've worked with these different types of
resistance.
Resisting the Administration
We all know that focus and expectations can change with a shift in
administrators. Most educators,
however, will adapt to their bosses like they adapt to their
students each year. Resistant teachers differ
from most teachers because they tend to remain static in the face
of change. They view change as a
process that happens to them, rather than with them.
An example of this comes from a teacher I used to work with. Her
resistance was passive; I was a new
supervisor, and she said she wanted to do what it took to make me
happy. My goal was to help her
improve her instruction, but her goal was to do the minimal amount
to get my approval. Her attention
was on me, rather than on her students, and the implied sentiment
was, "Because I am not good enough
for you, just tell me what you want, and I will try to please
you."
Coaching this teacher involved taking the focus off of me as the
leader and putting it back on students
and learning. During this process, I had to build a trusting
relationship with the teacher, so she trusted
reflect on lesson effectiveness and learning outcomes, redirecting
the focus from administrator
feedback to teacher efficacy around student learning.
Resisting Out of Lack of Confidence
Consider the typical classroom situation when a student acts out
because he does not understand what
is being discussed. Students would rather seem disruptive than
incompetent. Teachers and other adults
aren't so different; resistance is a natural response when we lack
knowledge or confidence but are
pressured to perform.
To find out if resistance is motivated by lack of confidence or
knowledge, get teachers to open up about
their understanding in a one-on-one setting. For example, if
teachers are resistant to a new technology
initiative, individually ask concerned teachers, "What training or
support would you need to teach
students how to blog about their reading using an iPad?" The depth
of the answer can provide clues,
much in the same way that probing questions can reveal student
learning gaps in the classroom.
Because fear and reputation are at stake, the school administration
will want to approach this problem
with confidentiality and support. Possible solutions include
Professional development opportunities in the content area of
need.
A peer buddy to collaboratively plan with in the content
area.
A one-on-one book study between the teacher and another teacher or
administrator.
Online courses in the skill needed, with follow up after completion
(this allows teachers to
pursue professional learning in the privacy of their own home,
protecting their reputation).
The point here is to deepen the teacher's knowledge base in the
area of resistance. If after becoming
more informed, the teacher still resists, she will have knowledge
and evidence to better frame her case.
Resisting Change
Veteran teachers are likely to resist change because they believe
that traditional methods are best.
These teachers are not simply trying to be difficult; they've most
likely had success with their tried-and-
true lessons and strategies, and so change may seem unnecessary or
overwhelming. A new curricular
initiative might seem like just the latest wave of change that will
eventually pass. However, if you coach
these teachers to understand the long-term goals of a new
curriculum or initiative and discuss the
possibility of the teacher piloting the new program (with lots of
support from administration), you can
create a powerful ally to help lead change. By having experienced
teachers pilot a new program, you will
get insight that may help improve whole-school implementation. At
the least, even if these experienced
teachers are not fans of a change, trying it first will empower
them to own it and make it better.
Even teachers who support change as necessary for the good of
students in the long run may feel
overwhelmed by the amount of work needed to implement the change.
Providing frequent feedback
and unrelenting support will be crucial to helping teachers like
this become robust. Rather than simply
mandate the change, administrators can support the teacher with
resources, professional development,
and work groups to build grit and persistence. Here's how
administrators can help teachers develop the
grit to get through major changes:
Offer peer-led work groups after school.
Provide teacher leaders to spearhead support efforts.
Furnish detailed examples, resources, or instructions.
Pay for substitutes so that teachers can attend professional
development.
Offer a weekly feedback form for teachers to communicate their
challenges.
Provide regular feedback to teachers after walk-throughs.
Offer online professional development.
Model the change during staff meetings, give model lessons, provide
video footage of
high-quality teaching examples, and find other ways for teachers to
see the change in
action.
Teachers in this category need specific directives, measurable
goals, and outcomes to achieve. Holding
unmotivated teachers accountable will make every other teacher in
your building resilient because most
teachers appreciate leaders who can recognize the difference
between someone who disagrees and
someone who doesn't care. In most states, it can take a lot of
documentation and tireless work on the
part of administration to remove ineffective teachers, but the
other teachers in the building will notice
your tenacity in holding people accountable. This is crucial
because school administrators establish the
foundation for school culture through their actions.
How you tailor your approach to resistant teachers can have a
powerful effect on school culture and
morale. Start by assessing which type of resistance these teachers
are exhibiting, and then align the
supports and interventions that target their areas of need.
Ultimately, by engaging resisters, you will
foster a culture of resiliency that will permeate the school, from
the teachers to the students.

What’s Your Conflict Resolution Style? The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict
Mode Instrument (TKI) assesses an individual’s behavior in conflict
situations—that is, situations in which the concerns of two people
appear to be incompatible. In conflict situations, we can describe
a person’s behavior along two basic dimensions*: (1) assertiveness,
the extent to which the individual attempts to satisfy his or her
own concerns, and (2) cooperativeness, the extent to which the
individual attempts to satisfy the other person’s concerns. These
two dimensions of behavior can be used to define five methods of
dealing with conflict. These five conflict-handling modes are shown
below:
Accommodating Accommodation involves having to deal with the
problem with an element of self-sacrifice; an individual sets aside
his own concerns to maintain peace in the situation. Thus, the
person yields to what the other wants, displaying a form of
selflessness. It might come as an immediate solution to the issue;
however it also brings about a false manner of dealing with the
problem. This can be disruptive if there is a need to come up with
a more sound and creative way out of the problem. This behavior
will be most efficient if the individual is in the wrong as it can
come as a form of conciliation.
Avoiding In this approach, there is withdrawal from the conflict.
The problem is being dealt with through a passive attitude.
Avoiding is mostly used when the perceived negative end outweighs
the positive outcome. In employing this, individuals end up
ignoring the problem, thinking that the conflict will resolve
itself. It might be applicable in certain situations but not in
all. Avoidance would mean that you neglect the responsibility that
comes with it. The other individuals involved might think that you
are neglecting the problem. Thus, it is better to confront the
problem before it gets worse.
Collaborating Collaborating aims to find a solution to the conflict
through cooperating with other parties involved. Hence,
communication is an important part of this strategy. In this
mechanism, effort is exerted in digging into the issue to identify
the needs of the individuals concerned without removing their
respective interests from the picture. Collaborating individuals
aim to come up with a successful resolution creatively, without
compromising their own satisfactions.
Competing Competition involves authoritative and assertive
behaviors. In this style, the aggressive individual aims to instil
pressure on the other parties to achieve a goal. It includes the
use of whatever means to attain what the individual thinks is
right. It may be appropriate in some situations but it shouldn’t
come to a point wherein the aggressor becomes too unreasonable.
Dealing with the conflict with an open mind is vital for a
resolution to be met.
Compromising Compromising is about coming up with a resolution that
would be acceptable to the parties involved. Thus, one party is
willing to sacrifice their own sets of goals as long as the others
will do the same. Hence, it can be viewed as a mutual give-and-take
scenario where the parties submit the same amount of investment for
the problem to be solved. A disadvantage of this strategy is the
fact that since these parties find an easy way around the problem,
the possibility of coming up with more creative ways for a solution
would be neglected. From:
