This I believe…
This I Believe is an international project engaging people in writing, sharing, and discussing the core values that guide their daily lives. These short statements of belief, written by people from all walks of life, are archived and featured on public radio. The project is based on the popular 1950s radio series of the same name hosted by Edward R. Murrow. http://www.thisibelieve.org/

I believe that an accomplished coach…• Recognizes that teaching is an intellectually challenging
vocation • Considers the diverse needs of teachers and collaborates to
negotiate the challenging terrain of teaching and learning• Understands the implications of assessment and instruction
and appreciates the importance of ongoing reflection• Is a problem solver, understanding that if teachers and students
aren’t learning, solutions are rooted in action, not negative reaction.
• Communicates, collaborates and challenges perceptions• Realizes there are times when academic content must take a
back seat to a caring conversation and that people learn best when they are treated with kindness and respect.
