Domain 4: Assessing Success of the Coaching Partnership
Coaching is an adult learning strategy which follows a predictable process toward achieving an intended outcome. A productive coaching partnership depends on assessing the effectiveness of the coaching relationship. This includes reflecting on the success of the coach, coachee, and partnership through information/data gathered during the coaching collaboration. Competent coaches identify criteria for success based on mutual goals while including the coachee in the evaluation process.
Coaches will achieve the following learning objectives, as appropriate, through the frame of its’ relationship to self, their initiative, their coachee, and other coaches:
1. Understand how to assess and monitor the success the coaching partnership through
goal setting and data.
2. Recognize available resources, and potentially add resources, to a toolkit of strategies
for assessing the coaching partnership.
3. Reflect on current practices and how these are aligned with the Domain 4 practices.
4. Practice engaging in an “assessment cycle” (i.e., planning for, collecting, interpreting,
sharing data) to understand the effectiveness of the partnership.
