We're introducing a document with what a coach is and what a coach isn't to start.This way it is put forth as non-threatening, non-evaluative, but empowering and collaborative.

Just finished reading Cathy Toll's Survival Guide, read parts of The Art of Coaching by E. Aguilar. Meeting with my supervisor tomorrow to work on how to define my role to staff. I am part interventionist and part coach.

I think the first step is to get to know them as readers through conferences that are more than "box checking."

@JameeCallahan @donalynbooks
