Our beliefs:
As educators, we know that what a person believes influences his or her success. Renowned educators Jim Knight and John Hattie have research to back up this idea. In his newest work, 10 Mindframes for Visible Learning, Hattie states that,
“Success is based not only on competencies but more on mindframes, less on what we do and more on how we think about what we do.”
Jim Knight applies this idea in his article What Good Coaches Do, stating that,
"...how we think about coaching significantly enhances or interferes with our success as a coach."
Though the URockEDU team utilizes evidence-proven coaching strategies, we have found the words of Hattie and Knight to be true. It is our beliefs, our thoughts about coaching, that bring our success.

We Believe:
TEACHERS ROCK. URockEDU is founded on the belief that teachers are awesome. Our coaches do not enter classrooms to "fix bad teachers," but to walk along beside teachers to help them become even "more awesome." Much of our work revolves around increasing the collective efficacy of teachers; helping cohorts of teachers see that what they do has an incredible impact on learners.
EVERYONE BENEFITS FROM COACHING. URockEDU coaching is for the beginning teacher and master teacher alike. Just as Professional athletes and expert physicians often work with personal coaches to improve their practice, teachers are professionals who can increase their effectiveness with the help of a coach.
WE TEND TO TEACH THE WAY WE ARE TAUGHT. If we want teachers to empower students as independent learners, our work with teachers should empower them as well.
"WHEN TEACHERS AND COACHES INTERACT AS PARTNERS, GOOD THINGS HAPPEN." Jim Knight's partnership principles of equality, choice, voice, reflection, dialogue, praxis, and reciprocity are the foundation of coaching conversations that lead to increased teacher effectiveness and student success. We believe that coaching is most impactful when the coach is not the teacher's evaluator.
URockEdu Coaching Model
URockEdu Coaching Model
The URockEDU Future Ready Coaching model is a personalized approach based loosely on Jim Knight's Impact Cycle with influences from Results Coaching and other coaching models. Like master classroom teachers, we are constantly in the praxis mode, growing to improve our practice.
Our coaches partner with teachers to support them in
analyzing their reality,
setting goals,
identifying teaching strategies and
making adaptations
Until the teachers' goals are met!
Teachers have autonomy in all aspects of the coaching cycle, from setting goals to determining how the coaching cycle proceeds.
