 The reality is the purpose of coaching is not to support teachers. Teachers are the through line. They're the pass through. What is the purpose of coaching? Student success, student learning, student achievement, however you frame it in your own system. Friends, if we don't get that right, we've got a problem. And we will not have a sustainable program. Now how coaches support that purpose is by close and intimate interaction with teachers and to support teachers in a wide variety of ways around teaching and learning. So I have on the next page for you, I think it's page eight. And I'm not going to give you a great deal of time to work on this because I have so many things I want to do but I would like to just begin to have you think about this. These are questions for you to answer to help you get to the purpose rationale and goals of your coaching program. Now you've got a big frame. The good news is that here in Alberta at least related to learning coaches you've got a big frame that you're operating within. The whole initiative behind learning coaches has this huge focus of supporting inclusive teaching. So some of these questions are already answered for you using the Alberta framework around learning coaches. Even though you have that, it's important that you bring that to a very focused level for you within your schools and your school jurisdictions.
