Executive Coaching in a High-Need District: Implementation Model Development

• In Event: Poster Session 1
  In Poster Session: Research on Mentoring and Mentorship

Abstract

Despite the rapid growth of executive coaching, there is no solid research base around how coaching impacts leadership (Feldman, 2005). Our multiple case study research traces these complex causal pathways and moves beyond current lists of traits and/or activities detached from a deeper theoretical framework and thick description. This work is especially vital in high poverty and minority urban districts struggling with turnover and low levels of student achievement (Gooden & Dantley, 2012).
