    SPED 854: Family and Interprofessional Collaboration in Special Education


    Coaching Conversation
    Reflection

    The Coaching Conversation is one of the assignments in SPED 854, a course for the

    KU Master’s Degree in Special Education that revolves around family and interprofessional

    collaboration in special education. This particular assignment was an opportunity to showcase

    the knowledge I acquired in the SPED 854 course. We were graded on our ability to address

    each scenario and how we applied main concepts from the specific module. The rubric

    aligned with the assignment ensured that we addressed two different scripts and that we apply

    coaching techniques from the module’s readings. Further, the purpose of this assignment was

    to write scripts in a professional tone, free from grammatical and spelling errors, which

    followed page guidelines and provided template that was used as a model to express our

    comprehension and application of coaching techniques.

    My reflection of this assignment revolves around my responsibility to interact with

    and supervise paraeducators. I was able to explore the unique roles and responsibilities of

    special educators as we collaborate with paraeducators to deliver the best inclusive education

    possible for students. I learned valuable coaching conversation practices and strategies that

    enhance these collaborative partnerships, and I studied the latest research regarding the role

    and responsibilities of paraeducators. As a special educator, I know that I will be expected to

    supervise and organize schedules for paraeducators, and from this assignment I learned

    helpful information to make this arduous task more efficient. I now understand and can apply

    ways to develop a partnership with paraeducators that focuses on professional development

    and student growth within a collaborative relationship.

    Specifically, I learned how to supervise paraeducators, create lesson plans, coach

    paraeducators, and build relationships. As I reflect further, I realize I also was trained in

    partnership communication, creating a thirdspace, asking powerful questions, paraphrasing

    and summarizing, as well as giving and receiving feedback. All of these are vital to a

    successful relationship between special educators and paraeducators. My coaching

    conversation assignment is evidence of my training and instruction of these topics.

    Coaching Conversation
    As a result of my hard work and dedication, I received 47/50 marks on the assignment

    with positive feedback from Professor Mariche Llanto. There was feedback to improve or

    work on my final paper, so I chose to revise. Professor Llanto suggested I could provide more

    evidence of coaching techniques in one of the scripts. Though she did not say which script,

    after review I determined she was talking about the second script. Revisions can be seen as

    highlighted in yellow. Additionally, I did review for grammatical and structural errors. There

    were none, and so I made sure to examine the unit carefully to determine if there was any

    other changes I wanted to make that might improve the product.

    The coaching conversation assignment allowed me to plan and design my

    interpretation of a successful way to coach those in need. I used a variety of techniques and

    resources, such as positivity, preparation, supervision, delegation, meeting, as well as active

    and authentic listening. As I reflect, I see how important it is to provide relevant, timely, and

    meaningful feedback so that we successfully coach those in need of feedback and/or

    professional development.

    Overall, this assignment was engaging and valuable. As a special educator, I now

    know that I need to continuously reflect on how assistants in my classroom should be

    integrated so as to best support my students, along with how my coaching and conversations

    impacts their presence in my classroom.
