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
Christina)
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)

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
