Carrying someone’s monkey…
What message are we sending to
others about their own strength and
capabilities?
Think of yesterday alone – How many monkeys did you take on?
What were they?
Coaching Conversations encourage others to be reflective and exercise responsibility.
We want to convey the message that “I trust you. I support you. It is ok to take risks.”
When might this have happened to you?
In reading this chapter, I couldn’t help see the connection to asking good questions in a mathematics classroom.
Assume positive intent and focus on positive connections
Are open-ended
Invite multiple answers , not one correct answer
Act as thought starters to energize the mind and consider new perspectives
Focus on solutions, not problems
Empower to help us to go to a deeper level an uncover patterns of thinking
Questions…
What strategies are you considering?
What will your criteria include when you implement a plan?
What barriers do you anticipate?
What resources will help you?
What additional information will help you make a decision?
Negative Feedback
Negative Feedback
Lay it on the line – critical
Is worsened when it focuses on the person’s core identity rather than a product or idea
The information can be alienating and over time can provoke defensiveness and negative attitudes
Conciliatory Feedback Positive and Vague – Avoids criticizing in order to be supportive
and avoid conflict; comes from the belief that negative feedback will be rejected and relationship harmed
Often called “social stroking”
Usually read as pleasant, encouraging, and nonthreatening. Not feedback at all; it’s encouragement and conflict avoidance in the guise of feedback
Chooses relationships over information
Receiver learns over multiple occasions that the feedback is empty and can be read as evasive or pandering
Communicative Feedback Clarifies an idea or behavior under consideration
Communicates positive features toward preserving and building upon them
Communicates concerns and suggestions toward improvement
Consumes more time, requires thought and effort
Read as careful, respectful, and honest
Clarifying questions and statements
Ask for more information
Rooted in concepts or ideas about which the speaker is curious
Valuing statements Useful for naming or labeling the topic under
consideration
Value Statements – affirm strengths, identify positive
Reflective questions or possibilities
Take the spotlight off the speaker
Push the thinking of the other person
Ask for creative or out=of-the-box thinking.
