Assess Your Development As A Language Coach

About this Book

This book was written in response to a request from Carrie McKinnon and Gabriella Kovacs of ILCA, the International Language Coaching Association. The request was for guidelines on: “How do I assess how well I am doing as a language coach?”. Consequently, this book contains six steps that an educator can take to become more coach-like in their work; and a navigational framework based on the Four Rooms of Change personal and professional development model. The biggest resource are the questions for reflection on how you can navigate your way through developing and self-assessing the six coaching skills that you use as a language coach.
