Better Conversations by Jim Knight
Enter instructional coaching expert Jim Knight, who in Better Conversations honors our capacity for improving our schools by improving our communication. Asserting that our schools are only as good as the conversations within them, Jim shows us how to adopt the habits essential to transforming the quality of our dialogues.
As coaches, as administrators, as teachers, it’s time to thrive. Learn how to:
Coach ourselves and each other to become better communicators
Listen with empathy
Find common ground
Build Trust
Our students’ academic, social, and emotional growth depends upon our doing this hard work. It’s time to roll up our sleeves, open our minds, and dare to change for the better of the students we serve.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
As a group, we will read Better Conversations, build upon our expertise as we progress through Knight's book using reflection-based assignments, group discussion posts, and ancillary videos. You'll even walk away from this eight week experience with tools to use in your personal relationships.
