Differentiated Coaching helps teacher leaders to do just that: modify their coaching to meet the varying needs of colleagues. Jane Kise explains that coaches need, “A common framework that allows you to understand why teachers aren’t changing” (p. 2).” A common framework removes the personal nature of critique and suggestions for improvement and places the conversation on neutral ground revolving around the framework. Kise suggests the common framework of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. This framework can also facilitate a coach in understanding how teachers think and how they best respond to coaching (and helping teachers understand this for themselves) can lead to differentiated coaching that allows real change to occur.
