Personalize is defined as "design or produce something to meet someone’s individual requirement~ Wikipedia. When we personalize coaching, we provide support aligned to the coachees’ learning styles, experiences, and their needs. Personalized coaching is a new paradigm in education, if not, then it is a model educators need to implement. Too often we adopt a one-size-fits all, an all-too-harmful approach that is hard to deviate from. There is a strong positive correlation between a one-size-fits-all approach and teacher shortage, learning gaps and inequity; the more we adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, the greater the problem. If we want to close learning gaps, retain teachers and disrupt inequity, we need to immediately work on steering away from a one-size-fits all approach and implement personalized coaching with fidelity and consistency. We need to capitalize on our educators’ unique styles and strengths through personalized coaching. I define personalized coaching as, “authentic ongoing actions and processes that support and allow for personalized products and strategies aligned to the coachee’s needs, talents and styles to powerfully impact teaching and learning and eliminate the inequities that result from a one-size-fits all approach ~ Cherry-Anne Gildharry. This SAGE personalized coaching model explores areas we need to focus on and models we need to authentically implement. |
