Directive Coaching
• Intended to challenge a Fixed Mindset, expressed through “rut stories.”
• Directive Coaching addresses the “rut stories” by:– Listening to the stories
– Disrupting the stories and helping the team teacher identify new approaches
– Helping create new ways of observing the facts and data
– Leading the way in creating a “river story”

Coaching Models• Facilitative Coaching, or Cognitive Coaching, is
analytical and questioning– Pros: challenges long-held beliefs, can promote
understanding and metacognition– Cons: takes time, difficult to see immediate results,
requires a great deal of practice and a very willing partner
• Directive Coaching focuses on behaviors and interrupting mental blocks– Pros: highlights high-leverage activities, provides new
avenues of engaging– Cons: may not see the changes in perspective, mindset,
and assumptionsSource: : Aguilar, Elena (2013). The Art of Coaching. San Francisco, John Wiley & Sons.

Reflection: Gallery Walk
• Review each group’s suggestions.• What conclusions did they draw about the people
involved? What quadrant would they be placed in on the Hersey-Blanchard matrix? Why?
• What actions do they propose? Do you agree with their course of action?
• What directive coaching approach do they suggest taking? Assertive? Informative? Prescriptive? None of these?
