The Partnership Principles with Jim Knight

In this webinar, instructional coaching expert Jim Knight shared the seven partnership principles that form the foundation for high impact schools.

At its core, the partnership approach is about a simple idea: Treat others the way you would like to be treated. You can get an understanding of the partnership approach by considering how you would answer a simple question: “If someone was talking with you about your work, how would you like them to relate to you?” Chances are you would want them to treat you as an equal, to respect your knowledge enough to let you make some decisions about how you do your work. You would probably also want them to ask your opinion and listen to your voice, to talk with you in a way that encouraged thought and dialogue about your real-life experience. If they also demonstrated that they expected to learn from you, that would probably make it all the more likely that you would listen to them.
