“So, we are facing some new norms in K-12 education today throughout the world, it lead me to create an “Agenda” for school leaders where the TIME Agenda Model (seems like all we have in common today is time!) was used for school leaders and facilitators. As they begin having crucial conversations with the various stakeholder groups an outline was created for their use. This outline for their considerations used some guiding questions taking from the “Academic Life Coach” book by John Williams and an immediate response from a school leader was, “Wow! This is wonderful. I can use this TIME Framework/Outline with the guiding probes not only now but as a guiding document in the Future.” Keep going everyone as it appears academic coaching is now a blend with Pandemic Coaching. This leads to the creation of some new lexicon: “Panacademic coaching.” Stay healthy everyone! Stay together….”Dan Haddow, CTEDU Coach in Training
