Teacher's Pet

Meet Corey, a principal whose career has rolled along on autopilot. Busy with his commitments to staff, students, his superintendent, and family, Corey hasn't focused on his ultimate student-himself. When Corey meets a professional coach, he decides to enlist the coach's help to learn to manage his "teacher's pet". During eight weeks of the summer break period, Corey and his coach use a proven process to help him get clear about what he wants, help him make supporting decisions, and help him move into action. Along the way, Corey also learns critical new skills tailored to his personal needs, and he creates a personal success plan to help him stay on track. In Teacher's Pet: Clarity, Choice, and Action In Your Career, authors Miriam Bamberger and Heather Bradley provide a proven process to help educators reclaim their direction and purpose in their professional lives. Filled with exercises and examples, readers are given a front-row seat to observe the dynamics of this coaching relationship and access to the same exercises and tools offered to Corey. Further, Bamberger and Bradley offer coaching-based solutions for managing complex work relationships and allow the reader the opportunity to create his own personal success plan to connect with the passion in his work.
