Conscious Discipline Professional Development Coaching

0:00 Professional Development: Coaching with Conscious Discipline Coaching provides personalized on-site or off-site guidance in applying the skills of Conscious Discipline with your unique children, in your unique situation. Coaching is available in English and Spanish. When you're deciding, do I bring training or do I bring coaching? We've heard about Conscious Discipline. We've done a book study ourselves, and we feel like we're ready to have a little bit more coaching. We feel like we're ready to really roll our sleeves up and get serious about this. Then you want to bring a coach in so that modeling can happen, and so they can experience what the words, and the language, and the structure sounds like from a Conscious Discipline coach. We actually had been through training so as another step, a coach would come in and actually work with the teacher. We set up to where they would come in and they're very hands-on, so how it benefited the school is the teachers can actually see a coach model a circle time, model the safe place, model one of the structures with the kids from their class. You actually got to see it happen in your room with your children.

1:14 So it wasn't like you go off somewhere, and oh yeah, that's perfect. If I had those children my classroom would look like that, too. When our coach came in and worked with us, she did so many different things with us. There was a time that she came in and she just sat with each team, and basically, she was like, "Okay, so talk to me. What concerns do you have in your classroom?" That was the first time we learned about the executive skills, which was a huge game changer for us.

1:45 One time, she just walked around the building with us, and helped point out some things that we didn't recognize that we were doing. I think one of the biggest benefits was to actually have them with a group of kids, and actually model handling conflict. So, in a classroom things will happen. Somebody will take somebody's crayon or, you know, there's just the little things but to see how that coach handles that situation, and you as an observer can see and then be able to debrief about it.

2:19 She's walked into classrooms and looked at the way the structures are set in the class and gave us tons of ideas of how to start school wide, and then break it down to where it ends up in the classroom. So that was a huge piece, huge piece for our campus. Always you're going to be jogging back and forth between training and coaching because you can only receive so much content before you need to practice, and so you're never going to stop training and probably never going to stop coaching, you're just going to constantly be bouncing back and balancing between the two.
