The purpose of CALI Executive Coaching is to support school leaders of low-performing schools to improve student achievement: • Focus on learning and teaching; • Enhance existing knowledge and improve skills to increase competency and confidence in setting rigorous student achievement targets; • Increase organizational effectiveness to support student learning; and • Develop skills through personal and organizational self-reflection.

  13. Executive Coaching is based upon the following precepts: • The coaching relationship is based upon trust and permission; • The coach moves between instructional and facilitative coaching strategies based upon assessment of the principal’s needs and in pursuit of agreed-upon goals;
