6. • Using VIDEO and TALK
functions
o We will limit the amount of simultaneous
talkers and video users during the main room
discussion. Allowing too much access will
slow the system down greatly.
o If you wish to contribute to a conversation in
the MAIN room, simply raise your hand and
we will give you access to the TALK function.
• In break-out rooms, you will have
access to use both video and talk at
your own discretion.

7. • Using the CHAT window
o You can chat with the whole group, individuals, and the moderators
(Rita and Matt)
o The moderators can see all chats (public and private) so please make
sure to adhere to our online Collaborative Norms.
o Chat is a great way to participate in conversations in the main room
without using the TALK functions.
o We will also use the CHAT function to send URL’s and other links for you
to access. (Ex. YouTube videos, Google Docs)

29. Trust
Essential Elements
Richard Echeverria – The Art of Ontological Coaching (1993)

30. Trust
• Trust is an assessment made by one person of
another based on the following three factors
o Sincerity
o Competence
o Reliability

31. Sincerity
• Sincerity can be affected if the coach is acting to
advance his or her own agenda or is responding to
his or her power needs
o Is there congruence between what one says and how one
acts?
o Are the goals mutually agreed upon?
o Whose agenda drives the relationship?

32. Competence
• Competence does not only relate to professional
knowledge but also to coaching knowledge.
o Does the coach have the competence to help?
o Does the coach have some expertise that can advance
the teacher?
o Does the coach have more knowledge?
o Is the person a good coach?

33. Reliability
• Reliability crosses over into time, materials and
actions.
o Does the coach fulfill promises?
o Does he/she arrive on time?
o Do they carry out agreements in a timely fashion?
o Do they consistently trying to support and advance the
teacher’s success?

34. Let Me Be Myself
Norms for Case Discussion
• There are no right or wrong answers to the questions posed
• It is okay to disagree, but do so respectfully
• Everyone should try to contribute equally to the discussion and no
one person should dominate
• Honesty is important, and no one should shy away from bringing up
an issue just because it might be controversial
• It is okay not to come to consensus or complete closure at the end of
the discussion
